Fischer projections - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Biochem - 1st Year All amino acids contain a central carbon, a side chain (R group), an amino group and a __________ group. - correct answer Carboxyl Amino acids can undergo a proton transfer, thus giving both a (+) and (-) charge. This molecular state is called the ________. - correct answer Zwitterion Amino acid that are unable to be synthesised from biochemical pathways within a cell have to be consumed through dietary intake. These are called _______ amino acids. - correct ans...

summary of chapter 5 of the book Organic Chemistry tenth global edition. it's about stereochemistry, enantiomers, diastereomers, chiral carbon atoms and how to differantiate between all of them.
