Abbreviated designations amino-acid residues

Aminoalkylphosphonic acids are analogues of natural a-aminocarboxylic acids and are designated by generally accepted three-letter abbreviations for the amino acid residue followed by a superscript P. For example, 1-aminoethylphosphonic acid, which is related to alanine, is abbreviated as Alap. Diphenyl [l-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)ethyl]phosphonate, is abbreviated as Z-Alap(OPh)2. The l-aminoalkylphosphonic acids have modest water solubility, which significantly increases in strong acidic and alkali solution. They are not soluble... 

The abbreviated designation o amino acid residues denotes the L-form. 

The abbreviations used for the amino acid residues are mainly those recommended in lUPAC-IUB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature, Abbreviated Designation of Amino Acid Derivatives and Peptides, Tentative Rules [/. BioL Chem., 241, 527, 2491 (1966) Biochim, Biophys. Acta, 121, 1 (1966)]. Other abbreviations used are given in the list at the front of this book.
