The side group, often designated R
side group
The "R" group
The ionizable part of an amino acid is the amino group, which contains a nitrogen atom with a lone pair of electrons that can act as a proton acceptor or donor. This part of the amino acid molecule can gain or lose a proton, giving it the ability to exist in different ionic forms at different pH levels.
The general name for the part of an amino acid that varies among different amino acids is the "side chain" or "R-group". This part of the amino acid structure is responsible for determining the unique chemical properties of each amino acid.
no amino sugars are not part of amino acid
The amino group is present at one end of the amino acid and is represented by the chemical formula NH3 The region on the amino acid that contains the amino group is called the amino terminal
The side chain, also known as the R-group, is the unique part of an amino acid. It varies among different amino acids and gives each amino acid its distinct chemical properties.

The acid part of an amino acid is the carboxylic acid group, which consists of a carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atom and single bonded to a hydroxyl group (–COOH). It is responsible for giving the amino acid its acidic properties.
The fourth part of an amino acid is the side chain, also known as the R-group. This is a group of atoms that varies for each amino acid and determines its unique chemical properties.
