Amino acids differ according to their R groups. All amino acids have an amino group, a carboxyl group (organic acid), and a hydrogen atom attached to a central carbon atom. Also attached to the central carbon atom is an R group that varies according to the amino acid. Refer to the related links for illustrations.

How do essential amino acids differ from non-essential amino acids?

"Essential" amino acids are those that are essential in the diet. The body can make the others from simpler compounds. Which amino acids are "essential" depends on the species; they're not the same for humans that they are for, say, cats. Other than that, there's no difference.

How many amino acids were changed?

To determine how many amino acids were changed, you would need to compare the amino acid sequences of the original and mutated proteins. By aligning the two sequences, you can count the positions where the amino acids differ. This count will give you the total number of changed amino acids. If you provide specific sequences or context, I can help you analyze them further.
