Ile/ I
Ile/I branched at?
Isoleucine branched at B_carbon
How many Assymetric carbon in Ile/I?
Two assymetric carbon (الفا +بيتا)
The amino acid that we call (Imino acid)?
Proline(Pro/P) cause it has secondary amine/(NH2+)اي النيتروجين ترتبط ب ذرتين كربون
Side chain of Ile/I?
iso butyl
Abbreviatin of Methionine?
Met/M
The non polar amino acid that contain sufur is?
Methionine(Met/M)
The side chain of Met/M?
Thioether
Is the sulfur in Methionine reactive?
No,cause it’s whithin the skeleton
Side chain of proline?
Cyclic aliphatic(pyrrolidine ring).

Proline(Pro/P).
Is the ring in proline Aromatic?
No,it’s aliphatic
Mention the Aliphatic non_polar amino acids?
We have 7 I will mention the abbreviation of them(G/A/V/L/I/M/P)
The non polar aromatic amino acids are?
Phenylalanine/Tryptophan
The abbreviation of phenylalanine?***
Phe/F
The abbreviation of Tryptophan?***
Trp/W
The side chain of F?
side chain of phenylalanine is phenyl ring.
The side chain of W?
The side chain of Tryptophan is Indol ring.
The non polar aromatic amino acid that has the largest side chain is?
Tryptophan(Trp/W)
The only amino acid that contain fused ring structure?
Trp/W🙃(Tryptophan)
Where we will find the non_polar amino acid in cytosolic soluble protein?
In the core(Interior)
Where we will find the non_polar amino acids in membrane proteins?
at the surface cause they are hydrophopic.
