polar charged characteristics- name amino acids

• form salt bridges to stabilize protein structure

• can be charged at biological pH

• found in active sie’s of enzymes

• aspartate, glutamate, lysine, arginine, histidine

polar uncharged characteristics, name amino acids

• in serine and threonine the -OH can be modified, thus changing protein activity

• cystine can make disulfide binds w other cystines, forming weak hydrogen bonds

• serine, threonine, cystine, asparagine, glutamine

hydrophobic-aliphatic characteristics, name amino acid

• found in water soluble proteins or outside membrane bound proteins

• glycine is flexible —> smallest and achiral, rare in alpha helixes

• proline is rigid —> rare in alpha helixes

• glycine, alanine, proline, valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine

hydrophobic- aromatic characteristics, name amino acids

• can absorb light at specific wavelengths, useful to quantify proteins

• phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan
