Front 11

Alanine
Properties?

Back 11

Nonpolar, Hydrophobic side chain consists almost entirely of C and H atoms. These A.A. tend to form the inner core of soluble proteins, buried away from the aqueous medium. They play an important role in membranes by associating with the lipid bilayer.

Front 18

Glycine

Properties?

Back 18

Side chain consists only of hydrogen atom and can fit into either a hydrophilic or hydrophobic environment. Often resides at sites where two polypeptides come into close contact.

Front 19

Cysteine

Properties?

Back 19

Though side chain has polar, uncharged character, it has the unique property of forming a covalent bond w/ another cysteine to form a disulfide link.

Front 20

Proline

Properties?

Back 20

Though side chain has hydrophobic character, it has the unique property of creating kinks in polypeptide chains and disrupting ordered secondary structure.
