Q
what is the generic structure of an amino acid aa
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, have a generic structure that consists of a central carbon atom (C) known as the alpha carbon, bonded to four different groups: an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), a hydrogen atom (H), and a variable side chain or R group that differs among amino acids. The R group determines the unique properties of each amino acid, influencing the protein's structure and function. This generic formula is what allows amino acids to link together in chains to form proteins, through peptide bonds connecting the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another.
