| Full Name: Leucine 3 letter code: Leu 1 letter code: L -has an extra methylene (-CH2-) group than Val -has the same formula as Ile but arranged differently. -Hydrophobic R group | |
| Full name: Isoleucine 3 letter code: Ile 1 letter code: I - has the same formula as Leu but arranged differently -Hydrophobic R group | |
| Full name: Methionine 3 letter code: Met 1 letter code: M - 1 of 2 amino acids with sulfur in its R group - Hydrophobic R group | |
| Full Name: Tryptophan 3 letter code: Trp 1 letter code: W - only amino acid with a fused ring system -hydrophobic R group -Absorbs UV light at 280nm (can use Beer's law) | |
| Full name: Proline 3 letter code: Pro 1 letter code: P - only amino acid whose side-chain loops back onto its backbone --induces kinks in a polypeptide sequence -Hydrophobic R group | |
| Full name: Cysteine 3 letter code: Cys 1 letter code: C -2 of 2 with sulfur in the side chain. the Cys residues can form a disulfide bond - disulfide bonds facilitate crosslinking -Polar uncharged, hydrophilic R goup | |
| Full name: Serine 3 letter code: Ser 1 letter code: S - Has a hydroxyl group in the R, side chain -(-OH-) groups are prominent nucleophiles in biochemical reactions -Other proteins can covalently bond to proteins via -OH group - Polar uncharged, Hydrophilic R, side group | |
