BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Amino acids can be classified based on the characteristics of their distinctive side chains as nonpolar, polar but uncharged, negatively charged, or positively charged.

Detailed explanation-2: -Based on the variable group, amino acids can be classified into four categories: nonpolar, polar, negatively charged, and positively charged.

Detailed explanation-3: -Amino acids are classified into three groups: Essential amino acids. Nonessential amino acids. Conditional amino acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are basically four different classes of amino acids determined by different side chains: (1) non-polar and neutral, (2) polar and neutral, (3) acidic and polar, (4) basic and polar.

Detailed explanation-5: -Amino acids are colorless, crystalline substance. Amino acids have high melting point (200-300)oC due to ionic property. Solubility: Solubility of amino acids depends upon polarity, iso-electric point, nature of solvent (pH) and temperature.
