Question

Study figure 3.18 in the textbook. See if you can understand why some R groups are nonpolar, some polar, and others electrically charged (acidic or basic). If you were given an R group, could you place it in the correct group? Work on the R groups until you can see common elements in each category.

rigure 3.18 The 20 amino acids of proteins. The amino acids are grouped here according to the
properties of their side chains (R groups) and shown in their prevailing ionic forms at pH 7.2, the pH
cell, The three-letter and one-letter abbreviations for the amino acids are in parentheses.
