Okay, so we are talking about the 20 amino acids.
00:08
So this video is going to be kind of long because there's a lot of information that needs to be provided here.
00:14
But i'm going to zoom in and start writing them.
00:19
I'm also going to give you the three letter and one letter abbreviation.
00:23
So for glycine or g.
00:29
And let's go ahead and draw it.
00:33
There are many ways to draw.
00:35
Draw these.
00:37
You just have to figure out which way is easiest for you because there's a different way in my mcat books.
00:45
My teacher taught me a different way.
00:48
They're all a little bit different, but it's okay.
00:54
So bear with me as i draw all of these.
00:59
And once i get through a few of these, you will start to notice some things about how similar some of them are and about how easy it is.
01:16
To as long as you understand the basic structure that all amino acids have, you can really get everything else.
01:34
See by now you're probably starting to notice that the basic structure of the amino acid has this, this chain that has the oh age double bonded to an o with the nh2.
01:52
So let's move over here and do lucine or oh, whoops.
02:18
Okay, i saw lucene.
02:32
And once you start drawing these, trust me, it gets so much easier because you realize all the patterns.
02:41
What helped me learn them was the flashcards.
02:48
Flash cards really, really help.
02:51
So moving to sistine, proline.
03:19
Some of these get a little.
03:23
Harder to draw, but i'm not very good at drawing shapes on my ipad.
03:33
So i'm going to go ahead and apologize for that.
03:50
Okay, let's go over here.
03:54
Let's do methanionine.
04:11
My favorite part of biochemistry was learning all of the amino acids.
04:15
It was really, really fun.
04:18
So, triptophan.
04:21
This one, to me is the hardest to draw.
04:32
So you have this to do.
04:40
To me, they're only hard to draw because i cannot draw shapes for the life of me.
04:51
But they do get easier, trust me.
05:00
Nh2.
05:04
Oh, h.
05:12
Let's go like over here...
