|
The 20 different amino acids found in polypeptides exhibit different chemical and physical properties because of different
|
|
amino groups attached to an alpha carbon
|
|
|
asymmetric carbons.
|
|
|
carboxyl groups attached to an alpha carbon
|
|
|
side chains (R groups).
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There are basically three major classifications for amino acids (1) those with nonpolar R group, (2) those with uncharged polar R groups, and (3) those with charged polar R group.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
