What is the structure of Amino Acids

All amino acids have an amino group, carboxyl group, and a specialized r group (determines the type of amino acid)

2
New cards

Peptide bonds

Bonds that link two amino acids together

New cards

Primary Protein Structure

A single amino acid chain

New cards

Secondary Protein Structure

Several amino acid chains that are connected with hydrogen bonds to create pleated sheets and alpha helixes. They do not have r groups

How can you tell if a molecule is generally polar/nonpolar

Consider it polar if there are oxygens, CH bonds are nonpolar
