00:01 Which of these have a branched side chain? balin, lucine, methyne, isolucine, lucine, alenine, isolucine, proline, lucine, lysine, valiene, isolucine, lusine, lusine, vailin.

00:17 Okay, when it comes to amino acids, i absolutely recommend flashcards, if you're expected to other structures, but i'll go through the structures of each of these.

00:26 So, first of all, uh, valine.

00:29 So, for all of these, i'm going to start with a...

00:33 The standard structure, and then i'm going to draw each side chain on.

00:50 So this is the standard structure.

00:52 First of all, dalyne.

00:54 So it comes out like this to a carbon, and then two methyl groups.

01:03 So you can see, branched, because it comes to a carbon and then it splits into.

01:07 So that one is definitely branched.

01:11 Okay.

01:13 Lusine.

01:14 So, lusine, i'll just draw the skeleton.

01:18 There's another carbon here.

01:18 Another carbon here and branching.

01:21 So a lot like valine except with an extra ch2 in the middle.

01:25 And but again, definitely branched.

01:29 So baline and lucine are, methionine.

01:33 Methyane looks like this.

01:35 So you have a carbon, another carbon, then a sulphur, and then a methyl group at the end...
