Cyclic Propyl (bonded with non-side-chain amino group)
Only secondary amine of amino acids. Does not form purple complex with ninhydrin.
Methyl group bonded to carboxamide
First amino acid isolated (from similarly named vegetable)
Ethanoic Acid
coded by GAU and GAC
(1-methyl) propyl
Non-polar and contains two chiral carbons
1- hydroxy ethyl group
Alcohol group with two chiral centres
methyl bonded to phenol
Negatively charged aromatic amino acid
methyl bonded to benzyl
simplest aromatic amino acid. Found in breast milk.
propyl guanidinium
highest acid disassociation constant of any amino acid, almost always positively charged
Side-Chain
Amino Acid
Hint
Methiol
Thiol group very nucleophillic, forms disulfide bridges
hydroxy-methyl group
acts as neurotransmitter
Butyl group bonded to amino group
In Jurassic Park, the dinosaurs were unable to produce this amino acid, ensuring they would not survive outside the park (in reality humans can't synthesise ____ either)
Methyl
Simplest alpha amino acid
(1-methyl) ethyl
Smallest atomic mass of any branched chain amino acids
(2-methyl) propyl
Most common amino acid in nature
Ethyl group bonded to carboxamide
Most abundant free amino acid in human blood
Ethyl group and Methyl group linked via sulfur
(Unmodified) Proteins always start with this amino acid
