Question

Which component makes each amino acid unique?
amino group
carboxyl group
R group
phosphate group

Answer 1

@jornelso Hmm, i would say, Variations in R group usually lead to different amino acid.

And Ofcourse You Know, Amino acid are made up of a central carbon to which are attached a carboxyl group, an amino group, a hydrogen atom, and an R group.

Lets check out an E.g :
Glycine has H(Hydrogen) as its R group, while Alanine has CH3 as its R group

So which is your Answer ??


Cheers!!
