Non-polar amino acid is hydrophobic ( GROUP 1)
Alpha helices themselves are not classified as non-polar; rather, they can contain both polar and non-polar amino acids. The properties of an alpha helix depend on the specific sequence of amino acids it contains. Non-polar side chains may contribute to the stability of the helix by participating in hydrophobic interactions, while polar side chains can interact with the surrounding environment. Thus, the overall character of an alpha helix is determined by its amino acid composition.
A protein's structure is determined by its polarity. Sub-units have polar and non-polar parts. No-polar go in the inside and polar on the outside of the protein. They are attracted to each other and this is what causes the protein's complex patterns.
Valine is an amino acid, one of the biochemical components of proteins. A protein can consist of hundreds of amino acids. So valine is not a protein but a part of a protein in the way that one piece is not an entire jigsaw puzzle :).
it is polar since it has carboxylic acid (propanoic acid) function
Essential amino acids are converted to non-essential amino acids through the process of transamination in the liver. This process involves the transfer of an amino group from an essential amino acid to a keto acid, producing a non-essential amino acid and a new keto acid. The non-essential amino acids can then be used in the synthesis of proteins or other important molecules in the body.
a non polar amino acid is if it has 1 carbon and 3 hydrogen
Yes, tyrosine is a polar amino acid.
Yes, cysteine is a polar amino acid.
Cysteine is a polar amino acid.
Tyrosine is a polar amino acid.
No, cysteine is a polar amino acid.
Yes, tyrosine is a polar amino acid.
The inner environment of the plasma membrane is a non-polar environment - one that does not like the entry of water or molecules that like water. A non polar amino acid is one that does not like water. Therefore, a non-polar amino acid would feel comfortable being embedded in the plasma membrane
A hydrophobic amino acid has a non-polar side chain that repels water molecules. In an aqueous environment, hydrophobic amino acids tend to cluster together or associate with other non-polar molecules to minimize contact with water. This behavior helps in protein folding and stability.

a mutation in a gene that does not affect the downstream genes in an operon. ie. a polar mutation is one that DOES affect the transcription or translation of genes in the same operon downstream of your gene of interest.
