A color-coded molecular diagram depicts an aromatic amino acid with an indole ring linked to an alpha-amino acid backbone. In biochemistry and molecular biology, this molecule represents tryptophan (Trp; one-letter code W), a small-molecule metabolite and proteinogenic amino acid. At the hierarchy level, it is a monomeric residue within polypeptides that constitute cellular proteins. Functionally, it participates in protein synthesis and serves as a precursor to serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), melatonin, and kynurenine. Atoms are distinguished by color: carbon gray, nitrogen blue, oxygen red, and hydrogen white.
