Glycine Glycine is the most simple amino acid - its best to just memorize that this important amino acid has a functional group that only contains a hydrogen! Alanine Alanine has a really simple functional group (just a simple methyl group) that some of the other AA functional groups build on. You can remember the name because the alphabet builds on the letter A and other functional groups build on the simple Alanine R group. What about the other A amino acids? well Alanine has the shor...

MCAT Chem/PhysGenerally, how are proteins formed? The connecting of a string of amino acids via peptide bonds and the folding of this string to create a completed protein. The folding is determined primarily by the hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic nature of the amino acids. Stabilized by hydrogen bonds, disulfide bridges, and other intramolecular forces. Peptide (Amide) Bonds These are formed when the n-terminus of one amino acid attacks the carboxy terminus of another amino acid. Water is ...
