HYDROPHILIC AMINO ACIDS | UNCHARGED AT pH 7 |
SERINE-SER-S Can form hydrogen bonds and maybe a substrate for kinase-mediated phosphorylation | |
THERONINE- THR-T-Hydroxyl group can form hydrogen bonds and maybe phosphorylated. | |
CYSTEINE- CYS-C-Can form a disulfide bond with other cyteines and can form weak hydrogen bonds. | |
ASPARGINE-ASN-N- can form numerous hydrogen bonds , similar charge to Aspartate. | |
GLUTAMINE GUL-Q- can form hydrogen bonds | |
Hydrophobic amino acids | |
GLYCINE- GLY-G-Smallest amino acid, chemically neutral of all amino acids | |
ALANINE-ALA-A Minimally hydrophobic | |
PROLINE-PRO-P cyclic ring limits conformation. limits hydrogen bonding | |
VALINE-VAL-V Small hyrophobic amino acids | |
LEUCINE-LEU-L abundant amino acid in protein | |
ISOLUCINE- ILE-Loften found in hydrophobic core of globular proteins | |
METHIONINE- MET-M -the sulfer in in Met is unreactive. Often the terminal amino acid in nascent polypeptides | |
Aromatic Amino Acids | They absorb ultraviolet light around 250nm---280nm |
PHENYLALANINE-PHE-F- hydrophobic, weak Uv light absorption. | |
TYROSINE-TYR-Y- Forms a hydrogen bonds making an amphipathic amino acid and hyrophilic properties. Absorbs λ at 280 nm. | |
TYRPTOPHAN- TRP_W-Largest amino acid. Strongly absorbs λ at 280nm. |
