High levels of methionine is found in sesame seeds, Brazil nuts, fish, meats and some other plant seeds; methionine is also found in cereal grains. Most fruits and vegetables contain very little of it. Most legumes also has low quantity of methionine.

What organs are used to synthesize methionine?
The liver is the main organ responsible for synthesizing methionine. It uses the amino acid homocysteine and various cofactors, such as vitamin B6, B12, and folate, to convert homocysteine into methionine. Methionine can also be obtained from the diet through consumption of protein-rich foods.
Is methionine the same compound as methianine?
No, methionine and methianine are not the same compound. It is possible that "methianine" is a misspelling or a different term for methionine. Methionine is an essential amino acid that is found in proteins, while "methianine" does not have a recognized meaning or chemical structure.
Why methionine is n formylated in prokaryotes but not in eukaryotes?
i think formylated methionine is more efficient recognizer of AUG
What amino acid has AUG?
METHIONINE
Do all proteins start with methionine?
Proteins have undergone post-transcriptional modifications, thus may not start with methionine after it has been modified.

what portion of tsp is 12 mg of l methionine

How many different mrna correspond to methionine?
Only one mRNA codon codes for Methionine - AUG.
What is the start codon and what amino acid does it code for?
AUG. The amino acid methionine. Bases read; adenine-uracil-guanine
Which two amino acids contain a sulfur atom?
The sulfur containing amino acids that are found in proteins are cysteine and methionine.
What does cyanogen bromide cleave?
Methionine
What amino acid has AUG?
METHIONINE

Proteins have undergone post-transcriptional modifications, thus may not start with methionine after it has been modified.
When a protein is synthesized what amino acid is always the first amino acid that is positioned during any protein synthesis?
"AUG" actually corresponds to a region of code on mRNA and is NOT an amino acid. The tRNA that has the anticodon 5' CAU 3' and recognizes AUG is a tRNA charged with Methionine. Therefore, methionine is the first amino acid incorporated into a growing polypeptide. Note this is true for only eukaryotes, prokaryotes have N-formyl methionine as their first amino acid.
Who should not take methionine?
Patients with acidosis (condition of increased acidity in body fluids) or established liver insufficiency should not take methionine
