While not "vital," I've heard that it aids in the transport and overall intake of protein to the muscles.

[edit] Vandalism?

The "LALALALALA" at the end of the article leads me to believe this page was vandalized. If so, please restore any information that may have been altered or removed.

[edit] Leucylalanine

Can anyone add a link or a section on leucylalanine? It's a dipeptide of a leucine and an alanine. The problem is, I haven't been able to find any really useful information on it. I could really use a diagram as well, if anyone can find or provide one!

[edit] GSS Syndrome

The GSS Syndrome article mentions a change in codon 102 from proline to leucine in the PRNP gene, but that is not mentioned in the article. Can someone add it?64.228.110.188 20:45, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Needs nonpolar/neutral acidity specified.

Other amino acids have acidic/basic/neutral info, leucine is nonpolar and neutral, though I don't have a source handy for that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.225.35.139 (talk) 06:47, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
