- Amino acids Describe the Basie structure of amino acids and categorize them based on R group & Each amino acid has a carboxyl group, a primary amino group, and a distinctive side chain (R group) bonded to the α-carbon atom Polar Non-polar Acidic Basic Amino acids. Isomers Non-polar Cannot gain or lose a proton and do not become charged- hydrophobic characteristics Chiral-α-carbon of an amino acid is attached to four different..chemical groups, it is an asymmetric D & L: = mirror images of enantioners Polar Enantiomers are optically active. If an isomer, either D or L, causes the Can create hydrogen & iconic Bonds & is hydrophilic plane of polarized light to rotate clockwise, it is designated the (+) form. Uncharged polar side chains all a.a found in body are L - for living Can all form hydrogen bonds except cystine' Acidic Able to let go of hydrogen ion in dissociation Basic Accepts hydrogen ion Acidic + basic properties Equations T Henderson hasselbach - tells as how well AMINO ACID is able to dissociates + give up its proton+ act as on acid pH = log 1/[H+] or –log [H+]. Acids = proton donors. Bases = proton acceptors. - Buffers concentration of protons ([H+]) in aqueous solution is expressed as pH Buffer = solution that resists changes pH follower the addition of an acid or base. release of a proton by a weak acid represented by HA: Max buffering capacity y= ph= to the PKA.
