This GO term has been obsoleted. Do not annotate to it.

id: GO:0019796
name: obsolete nonprotein amino acid catabolic process
namespace: biological_process
def: "OBSOLETE. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of any amino acid not found, or rarely found, in peptide linkage in proteins." [GOC:jl, ISBN:0198506732]
comment: This term was made obsolete because it was a grouping term that was poorly defined and did not provide a particularly meaningful grouping, since even for those amino acids commonly found in proteins, not all molecules necessarily end up incorporated into proteins. The term also violated the principle of positivity.
