Nonpolar
Tiniest Amino Acid, usually found next to Proline
Valine (Val)
Nonpolar
Leucine (Leu)
Nonpolar
Isoleucine (Ile)
Nonpolar
Proline (Pro)
Nonpolar
Ring structure that causes sharp kinks in the polypeptide strand, so glycine is almost always next to it.

Nonpolar
Methionine (Met)
Nonpolar
Start Codon

Nonpolar
Cysteine (Cys)
Nonpolar Behavior
Can form covalent disulfide bonds that are strong but sensitive to reducing, so reversible
