Pyrrolysine (abbreviated as Pyl or O) is a naturally occurring genetically coded amino acid used by some methanogenic archaea and one known bacterium in enzymes that are part of their methane-producing metabolism. It is similar to lysine but with an added pyrroline ring linked to the end of the lysine side chain.
