Yes. All amino acids are distinguished by their R groups.

What are the component of amino acid?

The 20 amino acids vary in structure by the R-group, otherwise all amino acids are the same in structure. All amino acids have a carboxyl group, an amino group, an R-group, and a hydrogen which are all bonded to a central carbon. It is the R-groups that make the amino acids react in different ways and alter the structure of the protein.

What causes a difference in amino acids?

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.


What is the definition for amino acid?

Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as the building blocks of proteins. They contain an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a side chain that varies among different amino acids. There are 20 standard amino acids commonly found in proteins.


Is the amino group present in all amino acids?

no there r 20 different kinds of amino acids which differ from each other in chemical formula. all 20 amino acids have same NH2,H and COOH group, attached with C but they have different side chains due to which they are different in molecular formula..... Dr danial quddus.


What are the parts of amino acid?

Amine or amino group, carboxylic acid group, 'R' or variable group, central carbon atom


What part of an amino acid is not the same in all amino acids?

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.


Whats the difference between an amino acid molecule and a protein molecule?

Amino acids make up proteins. Protein molecules are made of a long chain of three amino acids each linked to its neighbor through a covalent bond. Amino acids are compounds containing an amino group and a carboxylic acid group.


Are the molecular formulas for all amino acids the same. what is this called?

No, the molecular formulas for all amino acids are not the same. The unique molecular formula for each amino acid is referred to as its chemical structure.


Are amino acids and proteins the same thing?

No, amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids.


Are BCAA and amino acids the same?

BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) are a type of amino acid. While all BCAAs are amino acids, not all amino acids are BCAAs. BCAAs specifically refer to three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, and valine.
