👉 Sylvicoline is a term used in the context of biochemistry and structural biology, specifically referring to the presence of an organic molecule with a side chain that has been replaced by another type of carbon atom. This phenomenon can occur when a chemical reaction or physical change leads to the replacement of one carbon atom with another, leaving behind a different structure. In biochemistry, this kind of substitution is often referred to as "sylvicolysis." It occurs in many biological processes where an organic
