Q
what part of the amino acid differentiates it from another
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, are organic compounds that share a common structure: a central carbon (α-carbon), an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), and a hydrogen atom. What differentiates one amino acid from another is the unique side chain (R-group) attached to the central carbon. This side chain gives each amino acid distinct properties (like size, shape, charge, and reactivity) influencing the structure and function of proteins. The variation in the R-groups among the 20 standard amino acids allows for a vast diversity of proteins in biological organisms, enabling a wide range of biological functions.
