which amino acids contain side chains that can change their ionization state in response to environmental changes from a PH of 2 to 9?
Sri K.
Which of the following amino acid side chains can form an imine with a substrate?
Amino acid side chains act as nucleophiles and proton donors/acceptors in various enzymatic reactions. We will use them frequently in reactions during 40B, and therefore the purpose of this exercise is to review the properties of amino acid side chains you have learned in 40A.
