any artistic chemists out there?
The structure of hydroxyproline doesn't show up (at least in IE5). I'm sure someone would love to do a nice diagram of this, maybe by altering the picture of proline i don't know :-) Tristanb 03:40 3 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Here's proline:

The structure of Hydroxyproline shown in this article is wrong. Hyp has its hydroxyl group of the gamma carbon, not the delta carbon. Ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Search&db=books&doptcmdl=GenBookHL&term=hydroxyproline+AND+mboc4%5Bbook%5D+AND+374347%5Buid%5D&rid=mboc4.figgrp.3556 (and a host of other biochemistry text books)
Ok, I removed the offending image and added a terse description of the difference b/w Pro and Hyp. Sorry, am currently writing up my thesis so I don't have time to create/upload an ammended image!
