Concept introduction:
The structure of proteins has four stages. These four stages are: primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures. In primary structure, the amino acids are arranged to give the backbone of protein. In secondary structure, the pattern of the peptide chain is arranged in certain order. In tertiary structure, the interactions between the side chains of amino acids are considered. In quaternary structure, two or more peptide chains are linked.

- Classify each amino acid by the chemical properties of its side chain (R group) at pH 7. Select the amino acid that fits best in each category. Each amino acid will be selected only once. Which amino acid has a positively charged R group? lysine glutamine glutamate phenylalanine leucinearrow_forwardWhat type of amino acid has a side chain that contains –COO–? polar neutral nonpolar acidic basic conjugate basicarrow_forwardDraw the structure for an epsilon-amino carboxylic acidarrow_forward
- Explain which amino acids are acidic, which are basic, and which are neutral. Use theisoelectric point to predict whether a given amino acid will be positively charged,negatively charged, or neutral at a given pH.arrow_forwardLanthionine is a nonstandard amino acid consisting of two alanine residues linked via their β carbon atoms by a thioether (—S—) linkage. Draw the structure of lanthionine.arrow_forward
