Aminoacids;classificationbyR-group According to the chemical nature of the side chain, Accordingtothechemicalnatureofthesidechain, aminoacidscanbeclassifiedinto:1. 1 2. 3. 3 4. 5. 6. 7. Aliphaticnonpolaraminoacids. Aliphatic nonpolar amino acids Sulfurcontainingaminoacids. Hydroxylcontainingaminoacids. H d l t i i i id Aromaticaminoacids. Acidicaminoacidsandtheiramides. Basicaminoacids. Imino acid

Thealiphaticnonpolaraminoacids
This class include: 1. 1 Glycine 2. Alanine 3. Valine 4. Leucine 5. Isoleucine
Atif Hassan Khirelsied
Thealiphaticnonpolaraminoacids1. 1 Glycine (Gly or G).Glycine
Is the smallest amino acid. p Has the simplest structure. Does not exist as a pair of stereoisomers
Atif Hassan Khirelsied
Thealiphaticnonpolaraminoacids2. 2 Alanine ( (Ala or A) )Alanine
Is aliphatic amino acid. Has a methyl group in the side-chain position.
Hydrophobic.Atif Hassan Khirelsied
Thealiphaticnonpolaraminoacids3. Valine, Val , (V).
4. Leucine, 4 Leucine Leu, (L).
5. Isoleucine, Ile, (I).Atif Hassan Khirelsied
