氨基酸

氨基酸缩合可形成肽键;肽和蛋白质水解后可得到氨基酸。

官能团
NH2 and COOH

概览

Bifunctional molecules containing amino and carboxyl groups.

Amino acids contain amino and carboxyl functionality. Many exist mainly as zwitterions in water, with oppositely charged groups in one molecule. Their net charge depends on pH and ionisable side chains. Joining amino acids creates peptide bonds with a sequence and direction, not an interchangeable mixture of residues.

Identifiers

官能团
NH2 and COOH
化学标识符

NCC(=O)O

性质

两性离子
一个物种可以同时含有正、负形式电荷,而净电荷为零。
立体化学
甘氨酸没有手性 α-碳;多数常见的蛋白质氨基酸有手性 α-碳,而脯氨酸具有仲氨基。
序列的适用边界
混合未保护的氨基酸,不能指定得到一种纯净的肽序列。
