Odontosine

Odontosine: a zinc-containing, highly complex amino acid. The great gift of Moradin to her children, and the root of their curse of eternal hunger.
-Janos Perriman, Prof. of Molecular Biology, Joshua Grove University

Significance

Odontosine is a crucial amino acid for various Cys10 transmembrane proteins, which act as quantum computers and enable the compact intelligence of Morndinsamman lifeforms. In order to acquire sufficient 70Zn for odontosine production, most Morndinsamman lifeforms are highly generalist consumers: often to the point of cannibalism, as in the Pygmies.
Item type
Compound
