Anthony PY - 2018 T2 - Harper's Illustrated Biochemistry, 31e AB - OBJECTIVESAfter studying this chapter, you should be able to:Diagram the structures and write the three- and one-letter designations for each of the amino acids present in proteins.Provide examples of how each type of R group of the protein amino acids contributes to their chemical properties.List additional important functions of amino acids and explain how certain amino acids in plant seeds can severely impact human health.Name the ionizable groups of the protein amino acids and list their approximate pKa values as free amino acids in aqueous solution.Calculate the pH of an unbuffered aqueous solution of a polyfunctional amino acid and the change in pH that occurs following the addition of a given quantity of strong acid or alkali.Define pI and explain its relationship to the net charge on a polyfunctional electrolyte.Explain how pH, pKa and pI can be used to predict the mobility of a polyelectrolyte, such as an amino acid, in a direct-current electrical field.Describe the directionality, nomenclature, and primary structure of peptides.Describe the conformational consequences of the partial double-bond character of the peptide bond and identify the bonds in the peptide backbone that are free to rotate.
