Document Summary
S t r u c t u r e proteins are naturally occurring completely. A-as hydrolyzed , they are broken down into. Aa monomers are a- aas (amino group attached to cy to carboxyl group) except pro are to amines. " " a fri. t. r: iii. wit. Hydrolysis can also be done in basic conditions with oh -0 as. Most aas are l- aas (usually corresponding to. Cis configuration (side chain is - (h2sh) is r an s configuration) Not ionized side chains but have polar groups (e. g .
