“When these prolines were substituted with alanine , nuclear transport activity was reduced drastically in vivo and in vitro, and caused a severe defect in mitotic progression.”
“Although the functional significance of this polymorphism is unknown, we postulate that the substitution of proline , an α-imino acid, with alanine , an amino acid, could be of biochemical significance.”

“Combined supplementation of maltodextrin, alanine , and proline induced higher blood glucose levels than isocaloric maltodextrin alone during the late exercise phase (100-170 min).”
“Replacement of asparagine 5, proline 6, or histidine 12 with alanine resulted in >2700-fold, 700-fold, and approximately 2700-fold losses in toxin potency, respectively.”
