Why is glycine the only amino acid commonly observed in peptides inconformations with phi and psi values which are not restricted to the values in the Ramachandran plot below?
In the case of serine, threonine and tyrosine they have the -OH group in their residue. I'm wondering even though all of them has the -OH groups in their residue. but only the tyrosine has the pKa value with the -OH grouup.
Is DL-Homocysteine soluble in ether?
