Question
Chapter 32, Problem 2P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The known classes of the second messengers needs to be compared in terms of features and physiological advantages.
Concept Introduction :
Amino acids are compounds containing amino as well as acidic group. The general molecular structure of an amino acid is as follows:
Here, R is different group for different amino acids. If there is more than one amino group present in an amino acid, they are considered as basic amino acids and if there is more than one carboxylic group then they are considered as acidic amino acids.
