Answer the question in the image.

• A

• B

• C

• D

What are the main components of the amino acid structure?

• Carboxyl group, Amino group, Bound to same (alpha) carbon. And differs in side chains (R-groups).

• Hydroxyl group, Phosphate group, Attached to same beta carbon

• Methyl group, Sulfhydryl group, Linked to same gamma carbon

• Carbonyl group, Amino group, Connected via same peptide bond

Where does Biochemical naming come and end at?

• Starts from alpha carbon and goes down the R-group.

• Begins at the carboxyl group and ends at the amino group.

• Starts from the peptide bond and ends at the terminal nitrogen.

• Begins at the beta carbon and follows the hydrogen atoms.

What amino acid does not have the traditional foyr different substituents?

What is the D/L naming system based on?

Explain the CORN rule:
