Hph |
Homophenylalanine (Hse=homoserine, and so on). Caution is necessary over the use of the prefix homo in relation to α-amino-acid names and the symbols for homo-analogues. When the term first became current, it was applied to analogues in which a side-chain CH2 extension had been introduced. Thus homoserine has a side-chain CH2CH2OH, homoarginine CH2CH2CH2NHC(NH)NH2, and so on. In such cases, the convention is that a new three-letter symbol for the analogue is derived from the parent, by taking H for homo and combining it with the first two characters of the parental symbol – hence, Hse, Har and so on. Now, however, there is a considerable literature on β-amino acids which are analogues of α-amino acids in which a CH2 group has been inserted between the α-carbon and carboxyl group. These analogues have also been called homo-analogues, and there are instances for example not only of ‘homophenylalanine’, NH2CH(CH2CH2Ph)CO2H, abbreviated Hph, but also ‘homophenylalanine’, NH2CH(CH2Ph)CH2CO2H abbreviated Hph. |
Further, members of the analogue class with CH2 interpolated between the α-carbon and the carboxyl group of the parent α-amino acid structure have been called both ‘α-homo’- and ‘β-homo’. Clearly great care is essential, and abbreviations for ‘homo’ analogues ought to be fully defined on every occasion. The term ‘β-homo’ seems preferable for backbone extension (emphasizing as it does that the residue has become a β-amino acid residue), with abbreviated symbolism as illustrated by βHph for NH2CH(CH2Ph)CH2CO2H. |
