Document Summary

Hydrogen: basic structure, central alpha carbon, only l forms of amino acids are found in proteins, d amino acids are prevalent in bacterial cell walls and other microbial products, -h atom, amino group (-nh2) *isomers molecules with the same chemical formula but different structure. -stereoisomers different in arrangements of atoms/molecules attached to a central atom (stereogenic center) ---stereoisomers with a single different stereogenic center epimers: in aqueous solution sugars spontaneously form rings (hemiacetals or hemiketals), linkage between carbonyl and hydroxyl group, structural isomers generates by different c=o + -oh interactions. Bsc 300-001 week 2 (ch. 2: additional stereoisomers generated from orientation of - Be familiar with gylsine, proline, cystine, and histidine. 4. 5: acids release protons (h+, bases bind protons.
