Detailed explanation-1: -Amino acids differ from each other with respect to their side chains, which are referred to as R groups. The R group for each of the amino acids will differ in structure, electrical charge, and polarity.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are 20 amino acids that make up proteins and all have the same basic structure, differing only in the R-group or side chain they have. Amino acids are in an equilibrium between two acids with the proton (H+) moving between the amino group and the carboxyl group as shown below.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The side, or R, groups are what make one amino acid different from another, which include polar and non-polar, or hydrophobic. The polar group has molecules that are found at the surface proteins and possess a positive or negative charge. There are a total of eleven in this group.
Detailed explanation-4: -Each of the 20 amino acids has a specific side chain, known as an R group, that is also attached to the carbon. The R groups have a variety of shapes, sizes, charges, and reactivities. This allows amino acids to be grouped according to the chemical properties of their side chains.
