OH
Yes, a methyl group consists of three hydrogen atoms bonded to a carbon atom, with a univalent radical. Add one hydrogen atom and you have methane.

By forming chemical bonds with two hydrogen atoms and a carbon atom, the nitrogen atom now the R group, and the hydrogen atom are all bonded to a central carbon atom (circled). They include alanine, valine, leucine and isoleucine.

An amino group and an R group
The four groups that surround the central carbon atom in an amino acid are COOH group, NH2 group, H atom and R group which could either a Hydrogen atom or an alkyl group.
a central carbon, a hydrogen atom, an amino group, and a carboxyl group
Generally amino acids have an Amino group (-NH2) and a Carboxyl group (-COOH) attached to the same carbon atom, which is also called as Alpha carbon. Besides Hydrogen and R-Group is also attached with this carbon atom. R may be hydrogen, CH3 or any other group. For Example:If R-group is hydrogen then it is called glycine or if it is CH3 then it is called alanine.
The group -CH3 is named methyl.
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.
