Glycine
SC: Hydrogen atom
Alanine
SC: Methyl group
Valine
SC: Isopropyl group
Cysteine
SC: -thiol group where S atom can form disulfide bonds with other cysteine residues
Proline
SC: Pyrrolidine ring (side chain curls back and bonds with N atom itself, forming a ring structure)
Leucine
SC: Isobutyl group
Isoleucine
SC: Four-carbon aliphatic chain with a methyl group at c2
Methionine
SC: S-methyl thioether
Tryptophan
SC: Indole group (benzene ring fused to pyrrole ring with N atom)
Phenylalanine
SC: Phenyl group
Serine
SC: Hydroxyl group bonded to alpha carbon of the amino acid
Threonine
SC: Hydroxyl group attached to beta carbon
Asparagine
SC: Carboxamide group (this functional group consists of a carbonyl group bonded to an amine group)
Glutamine
SC: Carbamoyl group (simple amide functional group)
Lysine
SC: Four-carbon aliphatic chain ending with an amine group
Arginine
SC: Guanidinium group (terminal end of the chain is capped with a guanidino group that contains 3 N atoms arranged in planar fashion
Histidine
SC: Imidazole ring (5 membered aromatic ring)
Aspartic acid
CH2COOH side chain where carboxylic group is attached to C2 of the side chain
Glutamic acid (Glutamate)
Five-carbon chain with carboxylic group at the end
Tyrosine
SC: Phenol group with a hydroxyl group attached to one of the carbon atoms in the ring
