Homopolymers have been briefly discussed above. Polymers of a few components represent a second loosely defined class of thermal polyamino acids. Although individual neutral amino acids do not homo-polymerize when heated (glycine excepted), they copolymerize with certain non-neutral amino acids. Lysine, aspartic acid, or glutamic acid have commonly been used for cocondensation (7). Glutamic acid, which alone forms pyroglutamic acid on heating and does not homopolymerize, is copolymerized with many neutral amino acids 13). Combinations of... 

Figure 2.1 The amino acid sequence of a h5rpothalamic peptide neurotensin. The three-letter codes stand for the following amino acids ARG (arginine), ASN (asparagine), GLU (glutamic acid), ILE (isoleucine), LEU (leucine), LYS (lysine), PRO (proline), PYG (pyroglutamic acid), and TYR (t5trosine).
