R- group - or Side Chain.
All proteins are made up of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. An amino acid has a carboxylic acid functional group and an amine group. Some of the amino acids (such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid) has an extra carboxylic acid functional group in its side chain.
Proteins are polymer of amino acids. They contain both amino (-NH2) and carboxylic group (-COOH) as their main functional groups.With this the side chains specific for amino acids will attach and form poly peptides during protein synthesis.
The R group in an amino acid are what make that amino acid unique.
Their base. A ionized in solution amine group attached to a central chiral carbon, which is attached to a variable R group, a hydrogen and a carboxylic acid, which is the ionized form of a carboxyl group.
Being both an amine and an acid, of course.Generally the term is used mainly for a specific type of amino acids... alpha-amino carboxylic acids. However, taurine is also called an amino acid, despite the fact that it's a sulfonic acid rather than a carboxylic acid.(alpha-amino means the amine group is attached to the first carbon after the carboxylic acid carbon itself. In taurine, the amine group is attached to the second carbon after the sulfonic acid group.)
carboxylic acid
The amino group NH2 and the carboxylic group COOH are characteristic in all amino acids.
Proteins: They were made up of amino acids which is composed of Carboxylic group and an amino group.
amino acids contain a basic amine group (NH2) and an acidic carboxylic acid group (CO2H)
All proteins are made up of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. An amino acid has a carboxylic acid functional group and an amine group. Some of the amino acids (such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid) has an extra carboxylic acid functional group in its side chain.
A peptide bond is a covalent bond formed between two amino acids in a protein. It links the carboxylic group of one amino acid to the amine group of the other.
Yes. The alpha carbon, from where the amino group, the carboxylic group and the side chain (or R group) are attached.
Amino acids contain acid groups and amino groups alternately.
The amino group NH2 and the carboxylic group COOH are characteristic in all amino acids.
The amino acids are distinguished by the R groups which determines what amino acid it is.
The various amino acids are distinguished by the substitution on the central carbon atom. All amino acids feature an amine group and a carboxylic acid.
