Question
Answer
Carboxylic acid side chains pka around 4 so they are unprotonated and negatively charged at physiologic pH Are hydrophilic and can form hydrogen and ionic bonds   Aspartate (aspartic acid) and Glutamate (glutamic acid)  
🗑
All polar but not charged so H-bonding N residues in proteins are often glycosylated   Asparagine Glutamine Tryptophan  
🗑
Side chain pKa's are 10-12 so they are positively charged at neutral pH Ionic and H bonding Significant hydrophobic portions in proteins the chains frequently are hiding in the interior with the positive ends sticking out at the surface   Arginine Lysine  
🗑
Have hyroxyl (OH) groups OH is a common site of postranslational modification (esp phosphorylation) Polar but not charged so H-bonds   Serine Threonine Tyrosine  
🗑
Side chain has pKa of 6 so unprotonated at physio pH it is predominantly positively charged Can participate in H and ionic bonding Because it's side chain pKa is 6 it is a good buffer   Histidine  
🗑
Side chain is easily oxidized and reduced, can form covalent bonds Disulfide bonds are very important for the structure of many proteins Cystine (two cysteins with a disulfide bridge) can form in blood- can form calculi   Cystein  
🗑
Except for M the side chains have only C and H atoms Side chains aren't ionizable or polar so they are hydrophobic Degree of hydrophobicity varies V, L, and I are the "branched chain" amino acids (remember this)   Glycine Alanine Proline Valine Leucine Isoleucine Phenylalanine Methionine  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
