Is serine hydrophilic or hydrophobic?

It's hydrophilic, due to the hydroxyl functional group in the R group. Though the R group also contains a hydrocarbon group, the hydroxyl group is outermost and thus determines serine's interactions with its environment.


Is OH found in many proteins?

If you mean the hydroxyl functional group (-OH), then only serine and threonine contain it. However, all amino acids contain one or more carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups and they all contain OH as part of that functional group, though the carboxylic acid functional group should be considered a single unit.


Is serine polar?

Yes serine is a polar amino acid as it has an hydroxyl group (OH-) attached to the r group.


Why does neostigmine inhibit acetylcholinesterase in a reversible manner?

Neostigmine is a competitive reversible inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase. When the drug interacts with the serine of the enzyme's active site, a nucleophilic substitution reaction takes place where the drug loses a phenol group leading to the formation of a stable intermediate. However, serine then gets capped by a stable urethane group. Hydrolysis then occurs preventing "aging" from happening. The serine will then return to its normal form so this inhibition is reversible.


What is the CH3CH2CH2-NH2 functional group?

The functional group is the NH2. It is an amino functional group.


What is the functional group of amines?

The amino functional group.

What is in a molecule influences the way that molecule reacts?

Functional groups are responsible for chemical reactions of molecules.


What is the NH2 functional group?

It is the amino functional group amine


What is alcohol functional group?

Hydroxyl group, -OH


Why functional group is a group but not a molecule?

Functional group is a part of an organic molecule which takes a part in chemical reaction for example in alcohols functional group is -OH , in carboxylic acids is -COOH and so on, but formaldehyde CH2O is a molecule and it is completely a functional group.


What is the functional group of ethonol?

Functional group of ethanol is -OH.
