Is there a formula for amino acid Alanine?

Answer 1

Phenylalanine is an amino acid abbreviated Phe or simply F. The formula for Phe is C6H5CH2CH(NH2)COOH. Phenylalanine is a compound that is found in the artificial sweetener named Aspartame. Consuming it can cause a condition known to the medical field as excitotoxicity, where neurons in the brain are damaged and/or die from artificial overstimulation. The neurotoxin Phenylalanine, neurotoxin meaning brain poison in layman's terms, is suspected of causing conditions such as ADHD and other behavioral problems.

Answer 2

There isn't one specific formula of an amino acid. There are 20 different amino acids and they are separated into four general groups: nonpolar (an aromatic), polar uncharged, polar ionizable (or charged) and special chemical groups. However, the most common structure of an amino acid is: a central carbon atom which has an amino group (represented as -NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), a hydrogen atom (H) and a functional group (simply represented as R). The 20 amino acids differ in the R or functional group.

Answer 3

The formula for alanine is HOCCH(NH)CH

Answer 4

Yes. It has alpha amino group, alpha carboxylic group, a hydrogen and a side chain methyl group all bonded to a central alpha carbon.

Answer 5

The chemical formula for Alanine is C3H7NO2. It is a non-essential amino acid, meaning that the body can synthesize it on its own.
