noncoded amino acid
or uncoded amino acid
any α-amino-acid residue occurring in a polypeptide or protein for which no codon exists: e.g., γ-carboxyglutamic acid, hydroxylysine, hydroxyproline, oxyproline. Residues of these amino acids are formed from residues of the corresponding coded amino acids by post-translational modification of the polypeptide chain.
