[Q]
what is your favorite amino acid and why?
[A]
Methionine because it is coded for by the start codon (AUG). It's the first amino acid of all polypeptide chains (prior to post-translational processing). Methionine is number 1!

Indeed, beans and rice combined form a complete protein.
Your body needs 9 essential amino acids from food. Rice is low in lysine but high in methionine. Beans are high in lysine but low in methionine. Eating them together supplies all nine essential amino acids.
Other combinations work too.

If you wanted to separate Methionine from an amino acid like, say, Leucine (and other impurities), does anyone know if there is a metal methionine binds well to, and can easily be released from after removing those impurities? 🧪 #chemsky

When a non-AUG is the initiation codon, methionine still is used as the first amino acid. This is because the initiator tRNA is still used for non-AUG initiation via wobble interactions between anticodon and codon and it carries methionine.

The original outbreak of vCJD only affected people with a particular genetic makeup; those
who were methionine-homozygous at the PRNP
codon 129 methionine/valine polymorphism
Studies of similar diseases in other parts of the
world have shown that methionine-homozygous
people tend to become ill relatively quickly in a
first wave, while methionine-valine heterozygous
and valine-homozgous people can be infected
but remain asymptomatic for years or even
decades.[35] This has led some researchers
including Graham Jackson of University College
London to warn that there could be a second
wave of CJD infections years later. (35|36]
In 2016, the first case of vCJD with
heterozygosity at codon 129 was identified.[37]
