An R group is the chemical group attached to the alpha carbon in an amino acid.
In proteins all amino acids have the same basic structure and vary only in their R group. There are 20 standard amino acids found in proteins, which all have different R groups.
For example an amino acids with Hydrogen from its R group is glycine, and one carbon with 3 hydrogens (a methyl group) is the R group for alanine.

What is the property of alanine that helps it explain its reaction to water?
The amino acid alanine is non-polar, it has a neutral charge, not positive or negative, and it is hydrophobic.
Is it safe to take nitric oxide and beta alanine?
Yes, beta alanine is the best and safe our body, because good calcium and boost in this product.. so that i use only beta alanine and like every time.
Does essential amino acids include glycine and alanine and serine?
No
What is the bond that exists between alanine and phenylalanine?
Peptide bonds.
Suppose part of an amino acid sequence of a protein changed from tyrosine proline glycine alanine to tyrosine histidine glycine alanine this change was most likely caused by a point mutation called?
substitution
How is the reduction of plasma alanine concentration caused by gluconeogenesis?
Alanine is the major gluconeogenic amino acid. Plasma alanine is used to make glucose in the liver (Glucose-Alanine Cycle), and thus when this occurs plasma alanine concentration is decreased.
In the glucose alanine cycle how much glucose production does alanine account for?
1.0 gram of alanine accounts for the production of approximately 0.681 grams of glucose in the glucose-alanine cycle.
What makes up the polypeptide alanine?
Alanine is not a polypeptide. It's an amino acid.
How many elements in alanine?
There are different elements in Alanine amino acid) the elements are Carbon,Hydrogen,Oxygen, and Nitrogen. Alanine is a compound by the way! Hope it will help you:]
The Literature value of enthalpy ionization of alanine?
the leterature value of ioniazation enthalpy of alanine
Can alanine be hydrolyzed?
No it can not
What does the L stands for in L-Alanine?
The "l" should be lower case and in italic, and it can be spelled in full as "levo-". It describes the "handedness" of the amino acid molecule. The prefix "levo-" defines one orientation and "dextro-" the other possible orientation; as "l-Alanine" and "d-Alanine"; or, "dl-Alanine" for the racemic mixture of the two configurations of Alanine.
What are four names of an amino acid?
Alanine Glycine Phenyl alanine Argenine Histidine Tyrosine
What is the code for alanine?
ala
What is ALT?
Alanine aminotransferase
Show how alanine could be deaminated to give the end-products indicated alanine pyruvic acid of what value is deamination to a microbe?
Alanine is deaminated to give pyruvic acid (C3H4O3 ) and Ammonia (NH3) Pyruvic Acid.
What is the property of alanine that helps it explain its reaction to water?
The amino acid alanine is non-polar, it has a neutral charge, not positive or negative, and it is hydrophobic.
