Prolyl residues are unique among the 20 common amino acid residues in that they confer a conformational constraint on peptide chains due to the cyclic nature of their pyrrolidine side group, which prevents cleavage of bonds adjacent to proline by most proteases; however, several enzymes have been characterized that are capable of hydrolyzing these bonds.
