Proteins are constructed using amino acids that have side chains, which allow for unique chemical properties to be expressed. Explore four types of amino acid side chains: nonpolar, polar, basic, and acid. Related to this QuestionWhich of the following amino ...
Branched-chain amino acids increase the brain perfusion of patients with hepatic encephalopathy (HE), but the amino acid and the mechanisms involved are still unknown. This study compared brain perfusion and clinical improvement during leucine or isoleucine supplementation. After randomization, 27 ...
Monomers or smaller molecules can combine together to form a large substance that is referred to as a polymer (which can be classified as synthetic or natural). One of the best examples of a polymer is protein because the basic unit involved in this natural polymer is an amino acid which ...

Branched chain fatty acids (isoacids) are usually generated from degradation of branched chain amino acids, and their presence can be an indication of protein degradation or a balance between degradation and synthesis (Gaillard et al., 2018). In this study, there was a reduction in iso-valerate...
Most experts agree that there are nine main amino acids. They are an important part of cell building in living things. Amino acids combine to form different nutrients.Answer and Explanation: Amino acids bond with peptide bonds to form proteins. These long chains of amino acids that form ...
Group VI includes serine, theronine, cysteine and modified amino acids having C1-C5 straight or branched alkyl side chains substituted with --OH or --SH. Preferably, Group VI includes serine, cysteine or threonine. In another aspect, suitable substitutions for amino acid residues in the sequence...
where each of R1 and R5 is independently H, OH, SH, a branched or straight C1 to C6 alkyl chain optionally containing 1 or more eg. 2 N, S, O or P chain atoms, especially methyl, which can be functionalised, any amino acid side chain, such as alanine, phenylalanine, valine and glu...
A “conservative amino acid substitution” is one in which the amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Families of amino acid residues having similar side chains have been defined in the art, including basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine,...
