Document Summary

Lecture 5 and 6 objectives: describe the general structure of amino acids. Amino acids are the monomers which are condensed to form the proteins polymers. It is the peptide bond that links the amino acids in the formation of proteins. Amino acids are the monomers that are the building blocks of proteins. Amino acids have a central carbon bonded to four groups, including a carboxyl group, an amino group, a hydrogen atom, and a variable. The differences in the r-groups give physical and chemical properties to each amino acid. When it donates a proton, it becomes negatively charged. When it accepts a proton, it becomes positively charged. The central carbon atom of all the amino acids (except lysine) is asymmetric. That is, there are four different groups bound to the central carbon atom. The amino acid can exist in to two forms that differ only in spatial arrangement of the four groups about the carbon atom.
