Proteins usually are almost neutral molecules; that is, they have neither acidic nor basic properties. This means that the acidic carboxyl (-COO-) groups of aspartic and glutamic acid are about equal in number to the amino acids with basic side chains. Three such basic amino acids, each containing six carbon atoms, occur in proteins. The one with the simplest structure, lysine, is synthesized by plants but not by animals. Even some plants have a low lysine content. 9, record 8, English, - L%2Dlysine

La lisina (abreviada Lys o K), o L-lisina, es un aminoácido de entre los 9 esenciales para los seres humanos (esencial significa que no es sintetizado por las células humanas, y por tanto debe ingerirse con la dieta). Existen dos rutas conocidas para la biosíntesis de este aminoácido. La primera se lleva a cabo en bacterias y plantas superiores, a través del ácido diaminopimélico, y la segunda en la mayoría de hongos superiores, mediante el ácido a-aminoadípico. 2, record 8, Spanish, - lisina

mille : Expression numérique : 1 000 ou 10³ (notation scientifique). Son symbole est «k» et le préfixe qui multiplie une unité par mille est «kilo-». Écriture des sommes d'argent : Généralement, on utilise l'expression numérique et on remplace le nom de l'unité monétaire par son symbole. Le symbole suit l'expression numérique et en est séparé par un espace. [P. ex. :] «Le prix de cette voiture est de 18 000 $.» Si le nombre est écrit en toutes lettres, le symbole de l'unité monétaire ne peut être utilisé, il faut alors écrire le nom de l'unité monétaire au long.

En jumelant les symboles abréviatifs des nombres et les symboles des unités monétaires, on obtient des formulations fort utiles qui se répandent et qui, par uniformisation, obtiennent l'assentiment de plus en plus de gens, d'organismes et d'entités commerciales. Ex. : 15 k$ (ou kilodollars) pour 15 000 $; 15,5 M$ (ou mégadollars) pour 15 500 000 $; 15,5 G$ (ou gigadollars) pour 15 500 000 000 $; 1,5 T[symbole de l'euro] (ou téra-euros) pour 1 500 000 000 000. Il y a grand intérêt à s'inspirer de cette façon de faire dans les en-têtes des états financiers ou des colonnes. Une formulation telle que «k$» peut en effet remplacer avantageusement la représentation à l'anglaise «000» ou des expressions comme «en milliers de dollars» d'une longueur parfois embarrassante.
