valine
leucine
isoleucine
proline
open hydrocarbon side chains. hydrophobic. proline is cyclic
FOUND ON INTERIOR OF PROTEINS

Question 23

Answer 23

phenylalanine
tyrosine
tryptophan
RING CONTAINING SIDE CHAINS, hydrophobic

Question 24

Answer 24

cysteine
methionine
REACTIVE sulfhydryl group

Question 25

what amino acids are in the aliphatic and hydroxyl group

Answer 25

serine
threonine
HYDROCARBON SIDE CHAIN W HYDROXYL (OH)
large dipole moment, fairly polar

Question 26

what amino acids are in the basic group

Answer 26

lysine
arginine
histidine
HAS NH+ large dipole moment, hydrophilic, soluble. At neutral pH, electron acceptors and positively charged

Question 27

what amino acids are in the acidic and uncharged derivatives group

Answer 27

aspartate
glutamate
asparagine
glutamine
ACIDIC (1st 2) HAVE DIPOLE MOMENT, hydrophilic, negatively charged
UNCHARGED have carboxylate in the side chain, have a dipole that makes them hydrophilic
