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.


What is a atom or a group of atoms responsible for the specific properties of an organic compound?

It is called a functional group . Some functional group are Alkanes ; All carbons and hydrogens are singly bonded. (C-C) Alkenes ; There is at least one pair of carbons that are doubly bonded (C=C) Alkynes ; The is at least one pair of carbons that are triply bonded.(C///C) Alcohols ; There is an '-OH' group attached to the end carbon in a chain (R-CH2OH) Aldehydes ; There is a doubly bonded 'carbon = oxygen' on the end on a chain (R-CHO) Carboxylic acids ; to the end carbon in a chain there is a doubly bonded oxygen and a singly bonded hydroxy group ( R-COOH) Esters ; R-C(=O)-O-C-R' Amines ; R- CH2-NH2 Amides ' R- C(=O)-NH2 Thiols ; R-CH2-SH There are many more functional groups, including halogens and cyclic groups. All have different reactivity and chemical properties. 'R' represents the rest of the molecule.
