|
Amino Acids with Aliphatic Side Chains
|
Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Methionine (hydrophobic, often found in the center of ptns away from water)
|
|
Glycine
|
Side Chain: H
Most structurally permissible aa |
|
Proline
|
Side Chain: ring, attached to N back bone
Most structurally restrictive aa |
|
Aromatic Amino Acids (list them)
|
Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, Tryptophan ( Tyr and Trp absorb UV light, these side chains are considered hydrophobic but both Tyr and Tp have functional groups that can do polar h-bonding activity).
|
|
Amino Acids with Hydroxyl Groups (-OH)
|
Serine, Threonine (These side chains are polar, often involved in H bonding)
|
|
Cysteine
|
able to form disulfide bonds ( hair relaxer), reduced thiol group can also funxn as a ligand for a metal ion like Zn2+
|
|
Basic Amino Acids
|
Lysine, Arginine, Histidine (lys and arg will be positive at neutral pH)
Often form salt bridges with neg. groups |
|
Carboxylates (-COOH)
|
Aspartate, Glutamate (neg at neutral pH)
|
|
Carboyamides
|
Asparagine (Asn), Glutamine (Gln)
Polar Amino Acids (not charged at neutral pH) |
