+Pyrrolysine is a naturally-occurring, genetically encoded [[Amino Acids|amino acid]], sometimes called the "22nd amino acid". Its 3-letter code is '''PYL''' and its single letter code is '''O'''. For more information, please see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrolysine Pyrrolysine in Wikipedia].
-Some proteins in methanogenic archaea include '''[[Pyrrolysine|pyrrolysine (Pyl)]]'''. ''Methanosarcina barkeri'' monomethylamine methyltransferase (MtmB, [[1nth]], [[1l2q]]) was the first identified structure containing this amino acid, and in the crystal structure it is identified as BGX, with the rest of the amnio acid identified as LYS202<ref>PMID: 12029132</ref>. Chemically modified forms of pyrrolysine are present in the MtmB structures [[1tv2]], [[1tv3]], and [[1tv4]]<ref>PMID: 15380192</ref>.

+In January, 2022, seven [[wwPDB]] entries contain PYL. (Prior to remediation, pyrrolysine was sometimes designated BGX or PYH. Those IDs are no longer in use in January, 2022.)
