Message definition (Amino acid)
[[N-Formylmethionine|''N''-formylmethionine]] (which is often the initial amino acid of proteins in bacteria, [[Mitochondrion|mitochondria]], and [[chloroplast]]s) is generally considered as a form of [[methionine]] rather than as a separate proteinogenic amino acid. Codon–[[transfer RNA|tRNA]] combinations not found in nature can also be used to [[Expanded genetic code|"expand" the genetic code]] and form novel proteins known as [[alloprotein]]s incorporating [[non-proteinogenic amino acid]]s.

N-formylmethionine (which is often the initial amino acid of proteins in bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts) is generally considered as a form of methionine rather than as a separate proteinogenic amino acid. Codon–tRNA combinations not found in nature can also be used to "expand" the genetic code and form novel proteins known as alloproteins incorporating non-proteinogenic amino acids.
