Document Summary

Amino acid monomer covalent bond. All 20 amino acids have a central carbon meaning it can form 4 covalent bonds so hydrogen coming off one side, and amine group coming off one end, and a carboxyl group coming off the other end. The only difference between all amino acids is the function group r". You can go through the same dehydration and hydrolysis reaction. Peptide bonds are what holds the new (dehydrated) formula together. Has different chemistry coming off each one. Darker shaded groups are the r groups. Electrically charged side chains can for ionic and hydrogen bonds. (polar side chain) partial charges can form only hydrogen bonds. (non polar side chains) no charged or electronegative atoms to form hydrogen. Don"t have to memorize by kind of know bonds most of the time hydrophobic (non-polar) Composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and small amounts of other. Amino acids are the monomers elements, notably sulfur.
