3+] can suppress vascular NO production in endothelial cells. Abnormal vessels can cause obstruction by either encircling the trachea and esophagus (complete vascular ring) or compressing the anterior wall of the trachea alone.
Î±-Amino acid (alpha-amino acid): A molecule containing an amino group and a carboxylic acid group that are separated by one carbon, called the Î±-carbon. In biochemistry there are twenty standard amino acids which differ in the makeup of the side chain (R group) attached to the Î±-carbon.-Amino acid (alpha-amino acid): A molecule containing an amino group and a carboxylic acid group that are separated by one carbon, called the Î±-carbon.

An AMINO ACID is by definition an organic compound containing an amine group and a carboxylic acid group in the same molecule. While there are many forms of amino acids, all of the important amino acids found in living organisms are alpha-amino acids.
