Pyrrolysine (symbol Pyl or O [ 2] ) encoded by the 'amber' stop codon UAG , is a proteinogenic amino acid that is used in some methanogenic archaea and in bacteria .[ 3] [ 4] It consists of lysine with a 4-methylpyrroline-5-carboxylate in amide linkage with the ε N of the lysine. Its pyrroline side-chain is similar to that of lysine in being basic and positively charged at neutral pH.[ 5] [ 6]
