Amino Acids
Proteins are the polymers of amino acids. Therefore, amino acids form the raw material for protein synthesis. The proteins found in living organisms need about 20 amino acids as building blocks or monomers. These are available i..
Amino Acids
Amino acids are compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. They serve mainly as monomers (building blocks) of proteins. An amino acid is represented by a general empirical formula R.CH.NH 2 . COOH. Each amino acid has at l..
Synthesis of amino acids
Amino acids are synthesised by two main processes: 1) Reductive animation In this process, ammonia reacts with a -ketoglutaric acid to form glutamic acid..

Physical Properties of Amino acids - Amino acids are colourless, crystalline solids. They are water-soluble high melting solids and behave like salts. The a -carbon atom has 'R' which is a side chain. This side chain is different for different amino..

It is the step in which each of the participating amino acid reacts with ATP to form amino acid AMP complex and pyrophosphate. The reaction is catalyzed by a specific amino acid activating enzyme called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase..

Chemical properties of a-amino acids
When two amino acids combine with each other, the amino group of one amino acid combines with carboxyl group of other amino acid. This leads to peptide bond formation. The combination of the amino group of one mol..
Acidic Amino Acids
These have two carboxyl groups and one amino group. The free carboxyl group is acidic in nature. For example, aspartic acid and glutamic acid..
Structures of Amino Acids
Structures of Amino Acids - Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are 300 amino acids that occur in nature. Among these only 20 are known as standard amino acids that commonly occur in proteins. Am..
Essential amino acids
The amino acids that are to be supplied through diet are called as essential amino acids. They cannot be produced by the body. The essential amino acids are arginine, valine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalani..
