Understanding the structural and molecular interactions that induce shape and function for a protein has been an obstacle for some of your students. You decide to plan a lesson to introduce them to the basic amino
then use that concept to introduce the different levels of protein structure. To reinforce your lesson on amino acids, you need to aid the students in understanding that most naturally occuring amino acids have a shared base stuccue
Each amino acid has an amine group, an alpha-carbon (or central cartion), an R-side group, and a carboxyl group. The R-side group is what gives each amino acid its distinctive characteristics-for example, whether the ann ad wi
be acidic or basic, hydrophilic or hydrophobic, or charged

The groups composing an amino acid are located around a central alpha-carbon
All amino acids must contain a nitrogen-based molecule and a carboxylic acid
Amino acids always contain a sulfur atom in their side group
The P-side group will determine the overall chemical properties of an individual amino acid.
