1. The rapidly growing list of amino acids isolated from various natural sources makes the terms unnatural, unusual, noncoded, or nonproteinogenic amino acids, which are most frequently used in the literature, dependent on the success of specific scientific achievements. For instance, amino acids containing the most xenobiotic element fluorine have been shown to be synthesized by microorganisms. Moreover, recent spectacular developments in the generation of bacteria with an expanded genetic code make all above-mentioned definitions rather obsolete. Therefore, the time-independent term tailor-made, meaning rationally designed/synthesized amino acids with presupposed physical, chemical, SD-structural, and biological features, in the absence of a better definition, seems to be a more appropriate use as a common name for such amino acids, (a) Kukhar', V.
