There are 20 natural occurring amino acids in nature. Each amino acids has a different R group bonded to the central cabon atom which distinguish them from each other.

R groups are responsible for the three dimensional conformation of protein molecules and hence influencing on their functions.

The R group is the part of an amino acid that makes it different from other amino acids (every amino acid has a different R group).

For example:

The R group of Glycine is H

The R group of Alanine is CH3
