Give the basic structure of 3 different types of amino acid |
|
Answer» Amino acids is an organic molecule which consists amino group and carboxylic acid group at alternate positions attached with the central carbon atom.These are of three types:1.Acidic amino acid An amino acid which has more no. of carboxylic group then amino group in a molecule. eg. glutamic acid, Aspartic acid.2.Basic amino acids An amino acid which has more no. of amino group then carboxylic group in a molecule. eg. Arginine, histidine etc.3. Neutral amino acids An amino acid which has equal no. of amino and carboxylic group in a molecule. eg. cysteine, glycine etc. An\xa0amino acid\xa0is an organic molecule that is made up of a\xa0basic amino\xa0group (−NH2), an acidic carboxyl group (−COOH), and an organic R group (or side chain) that is unique to each\xa0amino acid.\xa0There are basically\xa0three\xa0major\xa0classifications\xa0for\xa0amino acids\xa0(1) those with nonpolar R group, (2) those with uncharged polar R\xa0groups, and (3) those with charged polar R group. The table below shows us all 20\xa0amino acids\xa0with their codes. |
