Abstract

There have been various novel approaches for the development of unusual amino acids because of having the same groups as that of natural amino acids. The structural modification in the nucleus of certain heterocyclic compounds have been done for various opportunities, hence being non peptidogenic in nature they offer certain biological activities. The present article has discussed the importance of unusual amino acids, some natural existing unusual amino acids, and various methods for synthesizing the unusual amino acids.

Keywords: Unusual amino acids, non-peptidogenic, Synthetic methods.
