Chemistry of amino acid
-
-
a amino acids contain a chiral carbon that is bound to an amino group, a carboxylic acid, a hydrogen atom and a R group.
-
Functional groups:
-
Carboxyl group
-
-
present fatty acids, amino acids

-
Isoelectric point: The pH at which the majority of molecules of a compound in solution have no net charge
Amino acid with non polar side chains: R group does not bind or give off protons or participate in hydrogen or ionic bonds - Thought of as oily or lipid like, Promotes hydrophobic interactions
-
-
Biological roles:
-
Precursors
nucleotides, nucleic acids
