PPT-PROPERTIES OF AMINO ACIDS

A PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Optical properties All amino acids except glycine possess optical isomers due to the presence of asymmentric carbon atom Some amino acids have a second assymmentric carbon eg isoleucine threonine. What are amino acids?. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.. In the body, they exist as zwitterions.. Zwitterions can behave as both an acid or a base.. Today we will:.

Figure 5: Comparison of the secondary amino group found in proline with the primary amino group found in other amino acids such as alanine.. 2. Proline: . Proline differs from other amino acids in that its side chain and amino N form a rigid, five -member red ring structure (Figure 5). Proline, then, has a secondary (rather than a primary) amino group. It is frequently referred to as an “. Proteins are naturally-occurring biopolymers comprised of amino acids. . The biological function of proteins is inherent in their three dimensional structure..
