Abstract excerpt
Hydroxyproline is one of the most prevalent amino acids in animal proteins. It is not a genetically encoded amino acid, but, rather, it is produced by the post-translational modification of proline in collagen, and a few other proteins, by prolyl hydroxylase enzymes. Although this post-translational modification occurs in a limited number of proteins, its biological significance cannot be overestimated....
