Which part of amino acid is unique?
The side chain or R-group
What is the difference between valine and glutamic acid?
Valine has a Nonpolar (water hating), aliphatic (opposite of aromatic) R side chain. On the other hand Glutamic acid or Glutimate has a negatively charged R side chain.
What is a side chain of an amino acid?
Side chain = r group All aa have carboxyl and amine groups alond with a side chain. Side chains are unique, differentiating one amino acid from another. It determines the properties like shape, pH, composition, etc
Which component of the amino acid structure makes it different from others?
The 'R' group (side-chain).
What is important about the R group in a protein?
each amino acid has the fundamental structure, differing only in the side chain, designated the R - group
What component is different between each amino acids found in proteins?
R group or side chain
How does the polarity of the side chain in leucine compare to the side chain in serine?
leucine has a nonpolar side chain while serine has a polar side chain
What are the 3 groups of atoms that make up amino acids called?
Amino group(NH2), Carboxyl group(CO2), and the side chain, represented by 'R' H .....H ....O ..\ ....| ...// ...N--C--C ../.... | ...\ H..... R ....O-
Monomers may differ from amino acids by their?
Depends on the group of atoms the occupy the "R" position (side chain)
Differences between amino acids are normally due to differences in which part of the molecule?
The R-side (variable) chain
