| Which standard amino acid has the largest R-group? | |||
| Which standard amino acid has the most acidic R-group? | |||
| Which standard amino acid has the smallest R-group? | |||
| Which standard amino acid has no chiral center? | |||
| Which standard amino acid has an unusual carbon-nitrogen bond actually making it an imino acid? | |||
| Which standard amino acid is the best buffer under physiological conditions near pH = 7.0? | |||
| Which standard amino acid has the longest aliphatic sidechain with a branched at the beta-carbon? | |||
| Which of the following standard amino acids exhibits a cyclic aliphatic R-group? | |||
| Which two standard amino acids can spontaneously form covalent homedimers between their R-groups? | |||
| In the following peptide sequence -- Met-Ile-Val-Glu-Gln-Tyr-Phe-Trp-Asp -- which amino acid residue corresponds to the C-terminus? | |||
| In the following peptide sequence -- Met-Ile-Leu-Glu-Gly-Gln-Tyr-Phe-Trp-Asp -- which amino acid residue is sterically the most flexible in terms of the potential conformations this amino acid can potentially adopt? | |||
| Which standard amino acid residue is the least flexible in terms of the sterically allowed conformations it may adopt in a given polypeptide structure? | |||
| In the following peptide sequence -- C-D-V-N-Q-P-F-W-E --which amino acid residue has an R-group that is potentially the most chemically reactive under physiological conditions near pH = 7.0? | |||
| Which standard amino acid is chemically most related to the "mystery molecule" shown here? | |||
| Is the "mystery molecule" shown here a standard amino acid? If you think so, click the button above its correct one-letter designation. If you think NOT, select the statement under the label: "This is a non-standard amino acid." | |||
