What group do amino acids always contain?
The amino acids are distinguished by the R groups which determines what amino acid it is.
Which amino acid possesses the least extensive r group?
Glycine is the simplest common amino acid. It is characterized by the presence of a hydrogen atom as its R-group.
Which group of atoms in an amino acid gives it its particular properties?
Their functional or "R" group of the individual amino acid.
Is there any amino acid having secondary amino group in its structure?
The amino acid proline is the only amino acid that has a secondary amine functional group. This is because proline is a cyclic amino acid that links the 3-carbon R-group back to the amine group, resulting in a secondary amine.
What are the 4 things bonded to the center carbon of amino acids?
Each amino acid consists of an alpha carbon atom to which is attached, a hydrogen atom, an amino group, a carboxyl group and one of 20 different "R" groups.
Why is the R group in amino acids?
The R group in an amino acid are what make that amino acid unique.
Why is the R group in amino acids important?
The R group in an amino acid are what make that amino acid unique.
What part of an amino acid is not the same in all amino acids?
The "R" group is different in different kinds of amino acids. The "R" group can be a number of different molecules that are attached to the alpha carbon.
What group do amino acids always contain?
The amino acids are distinguished by the R groups which determines what amino acid it is.
What part of the amino acid is different in each amino acid different?
The "R" group
What is R group in amino acid?
lanthionine
Which amino acid possesses the least extensive r group?
Glycine is the simplest common amino acid. It is characterized by the presence of a hydrogen atom as its R-group.
What is the variable of acid?
The variable of amino acid is called the R group.
What causes a difference in amino acids?
The R groups of amino acids cause the difference in amino acid. The R group is joined at the alpha carbon of amino acid. There are four group joined at one carbon, viz. an acid group --COOH, and an amino group --NH3, one hydrogen and a functional group (R group). Except R group all the groups are same in every amino acid. So on the basis of R group i.e., functional group, there occur differences EITHER it is polar or non-polar nature OR acidity or basicty.
Which part of amino acid is unique?
The side chain or R-group
What part of an amino acid that makes it different from other amino acids?
The remainder group or R Group. An amino acid is constituted by the amine group, the carboxylic acid group, and the side chain (AKA Remainder group). It's the chemistry of the side chain that makes an amino acid unique from the other amino acids.
What amino acid molecule includes a central carbon atom bonded to a carboxyl group and a hydrogen atom?
An amino group and an R group
