Methionine

A sulphur-containing essential amino acid, isolated in 1921 by John Howard Mueller and named in 1925: it is used to build proteins and is the precursor of S-adenosylmethionine, involved in a great many cell reactions. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?Its genetic code, AUG, is also the start signal for reading genes: this is why newly made proteins almost always begin with a methionine.
