Amino Acid Structure

Alanine. Amino Acid Structure. From DNA a strand of mRNA is transcribed. This mRNA is read by a ribosome in the cytoplasm which in turn constructs the appropriate protein sequence with the help of specific tRNA’s. What is the protein constructed of? _________________. Amino Acids.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Alanine Amino Acid Structure From DNA a strand of mRNA is transcribed. This mRNA is read by a ribosome in the cytoplasm which in turn constructs the appropriate protein sequence with the help of specific tRNA’s. What is the protein constructed of? _________________ Amino Acids How many amino Acids are there? _______ 20 Today your going to take a look at the structure and properties of each of the twenty amino acids. Go to the following link to complete the assignment below. LINK:http://wiki.cmbi.ru.nl/index.php/Amino_acid Use the two following web sites to help you better see amino acid structure and the process of a dehydration reaction http://www.biotopics.co.uk/JmolApplet/aminoacidcategories110.html http://www.biotopics.co.uk/as/aminocon.html http://www.biomed.curtin.edu.au/biochem/tutorials/AAs/AA.html

  2. In your notes: List all twenty of the Amino Acids, give a description of their properties and draw a line figure of it’s chemical composition in your notes. The last site will help with this Provide a basic description of an amino acid (be sure to describe the general structure and the specific group to which it belongs). There are 7 different groups. Use the second site listed for this. Questions: In your notes draw the resulting structure from a dehydration RxN between Glycine and Serine Now the resulting structure from a dehydration RxN between Aspartic Acid and Asparagine
