Optical isomerism of amino acids All α-amino acids except glycine CH2(NH2)COOH and proline are complex enough to have the twooptical isomersthat are mirror images of each other (L and R). This is because they have four different groups around the alpha carbon, forming achiral centre. ...
Amino acid - Reactions, Structure, Synthesis: Amino acids via their various chemical functionalities (carboxyls, amino, and R groups) can undergo numerous chemical reactions. However, two reactions (peptide bond and cysteine oxidation) are of particular
(a) Common structure of α-amino acids, position of the α-carbon is labeled; ‘R’ represents any number of possible chemical structures, which may be as simple as a single hydrogen atom (–H, as in the amino acid glycine) or more complex chemical groups, as in (b); (b) Examples...
Our results show that differences among serum metabolites were mainly lipids and amino acids, but the candidate biomarkers in LT and ST RM consumption analysis have no similarities. The differential metabolites of our ST analysis seem more convincing, and the ST prediction model has a better AUC....
Amino acid, any of a group of organic molecules that consist of a basic amino group, an acidic carboxyl group, and a unique organic side chain. The term amino acid is short for α-amino [alpha-amino] carboxylic acid. Examples of amino acids include glyci

Figure 2.35.Serine biosynthetic pathway. Involved enzymes are: PHGDG (3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase); 3-ppyr (3-phosphohydroxypyruvate); 3-pser (3-phosphoserine) Amino acids also have a role in activating the expression of a wide range of genes. This (still not completely understood) process...
Amino Acid Groups Amino acids can be classified into four general groups based on the properties of the "R" group in each amino acid. Amino acids can be polar, nonpolar, positively charged, or negatively charged. Polar amino acids have "R" groups that arehydrophilic, meaning that they seek...
Amino acidsare very important organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side-chain (R group) responding to each amino acid. They are a chemically diverse set of compounds present in proteins and peptides. The basic elements of an am...
Thus a simple UV scan can allow one to distinguish between protein and nucleic acids. UV-absorbing Properties of Amino Acids In solution it is the nature of the amino acid R-groups that dictate structure-function relationships of peptides and proteins. The hydrophobic amino acids will generally ...
