AmidsäureStruktur
AmidsäureStruktur refers to the structural properties of amino acids. Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as the building blocks of proteins. They share a common basic structure characterized by a central carbon atom, known as the alpha-carbon. This alpha-carbon is bonded to four different groups: an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), a hydrogen atom (-H), and a side chain, also called an R-group. The nature of this R-group varies among the different amino acids and determines their unique properties.
The amino group is basic, meaning it can accept a proton, while the carboxyl group is acidic,
The R-group is the most diverse part of an amino acid's structure. It can be as simple
