The R-group in the phenylalanine amino acid is:
CH2-benzene ring
Phenylalanine and tyrosine both have a phenyl group in their side chain.
The amino acids are distinguished by the R groups which determines what amino acid it is.
Glycine is the simplest common amino acid. It is characterized by the presence of a hydrogen atom as its R-group.
Their functional or "R" group of the individual amino acid.
The amino acid proline is the only amino acid that has a secondary amine functional group. This is because proline is a cyclic amino acid that links the 3-carbon R-group back to the amine group, resulting in a secondary amine.
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.
The R group in an amino acid are what make that amino acid unique.
The R group in an amino acid are what make that amino acid unique.
The "R" group is different in different kinds of amino acids. The "R" group can be a number of different molecules that are attached to the alpha carbon.
The amino acids are distinguished by the R groups which determines what amino acid it is.
The "R" group
lanthionine
Glycine is the simplest common amino acid. It is characterized by the presence of a hydrogen atom as its R-group.
The variable of amino acid is called the R group.
The R groups of amino acids cause the difference in amino acid. The R group is joined at the alpha carbon of amino acid. There are four group joined at one carbon, viz. an acid group --COOH, and an amino group --NH3, one hydrogen and a functional group (R group). Except R group all the groups are same in every amino acid. So on the basis of R group i.e., functional group, there occur differences EITHER it is polar or non-polar nature OR acidity or basicty.
The side chain or R-group
The remainder group or R Group. An amino acid is constituted by the amine group, the carboxylic acid group, and the side chain (AKA Remainder group). It's the chemistry of the side chain that makes an amino acid unique from the other amino acids.
