have you looked at a table with the R group of each amino acid?

anonymous · Answer

I tried but I don't understand how to do it.

aaronq · Answer

Look at this table|dw:1394829216837:dw|

anonymous · Answer

So I look at the R group of the amino acids and compare them to what? I'm so confused

aaronq · Answer

in your question, it says ENZ-R,  you're looking to match the R group to one of the amino acids.

anonymous · Answer

Ok I think I got the second and third one. The second one I'm thinking cysteine and the third histidine. Am I right?

aaronq · Answer

yep, thats right.
