What amino acid side chains are capable of forming ionic bonds?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Amino acids with polar or charged side chains form hydrogen bonds. They are:
- glutamine (Q), Gln
- asparagine (N), Asn
- serine (S), Ser
- threonine (T), Thr
- tyrosine (Y), Tyr
- cysteine (C), Cys
- aspartate (D), Asp
- glutamate (E), Glu
- lysine (K), Lys
- arginine (R), Arg
- histidine (H), His

∙ 9y agoHydrogen bonds require more than simply the presence of hydrogen. They require atoms that are capable of electron donation and hydrogen atoms that are connected to atoms with a specific set of characteristics relating to electronegativity, size, orbital characteristics, etc. The details of hydrogen bonds are discussed on Wikipedia, but for practical purposes, hydrogen bonds occur where molecules contain -OH or -NH- groups (HF also exhibits hydrogen bonding, but is irrelevant to this discussion).
Of the 20 common amino acids, those with side groups capable of hydrogen bond formation are: arginine, histidine, lysine, serine, threonine, asparagine, glutamine, tryptophan and tyrosine.

∙ 15y agothere are five polar amino acids that are hydrophilic... serine, threonine, asparagine, glutamine and tyrosine

∙ 11y agoCharged amino acids!
Positively charged--Arginine, lysine
Negatively charged-Aspartic acid, glutamic acid.
These can also involve in H bonding.

Composed of long chains of amino acids?
Polypeptide bonds....polypeptide bonds equal proteins ;)
Building block unit of a polypeptide chain?
Amino acids are the building block units of a polypeptide chain or a protein. These amino acids are linked together through peptide bonds.
How many bonds is a water molecule capable of forming?
four
A long chain of many amino acids is called a?
Polypeptides are chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
What are the long chains that DNA make up?
DNA is made of two strands (chains) of DNA nucleotides that are twisted, forming a double helix, often compared to a twisted ladder. The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen bases.
Which element is capable of forming stable extended chains of atoms through single double or triple bonds with itself?
ionic
Composed of long chains of amino acids?
Polypeptide bonds....polypeptide bonds equal proteins ;)
Building block unit of a polypeptide chain?
Amino acids are the building block units of a polypeptide chain or a protein. These amino acids are linked together through peptide bonds.
Are there peptide bonds in Tyrosine?
No. Tyrosine is an amino acid that forms peptide bonds with the others in polypeptide chains.
What types of bonds form chains of amino acids in a protein?
peptide bond
How many bonds is a water molecule capable of forming?
four
What kinds of bonds form between amino acids to form protein chains?
They are [accurately] termed to be peptide bonds.
The element that readily bonds to itself forming long chains and rings?
Carbon
What make up a protein?
Proteins are complex molecules of amino acids.
Are water molecules capable of forming hydrogen bonds?
Yes Yes
Identify the significance of cysteine in its formation of disulfide bonds?
Chains of amino acids (forming proteins) fold as cysteines in different places attach to each other (its the only amino acid that can form a disulfide bond with another cysteine). Original Answer: lol , IB Biology 11. Biozone: Senior Biology 1 page 58 question #8
How can DNA-level mutations affect the structure of proteins?
DNA is formed out of proteins, mutations can cause the bonds between the chains to loosen or not form at all. It may also cause additonal bonds forming and changet the order of amino acids involved in the chain.
