Glycine |
Gly Can fit into hydrophilic or hydrophobic environment, can reside where two polypeptides come in close contact
|
|
|
Cysteine |
Cys Has polar uncharged character, forms covalent bond with another of its self to form disulfide link
|
|
|
Proline |
Pro Though it has hydrophobic character, creates kinks in polypeptide chains and disrupts secondary structure |
|
|
Polar Charged |
-Hydrophilic side chains have fully charges -Act as acids or bases -Side chains often form ionic bonds -Involved in reactions
|
|
|
Polar Uncharged |
-Hydrophilic side chains have partial charges -Participate in reactions -Form H bonds -Associate with water |
|
|
Nonpolar |
-Hydrophobic side chains (mostly C or H) -Form inner core of soluble proteins (buried from aq medium) -Associate with lipid bilayer |
