      TubeZish what do you mean they have an extra carbon backbone, from the skeletal formula I didn't see anything incorrect and to my knowledge they're aliphatic baring in mind I only checked alanine.

    Lyrics!!! (I typed them up so you can copy and paste and sing along :)
    Glycine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, alanine, they all are aliphatic, so you will not see a ring!
    The lone human amino acid with one is proline. From protein we are formed!
    With two hydroxyl groups you'll find serine and threonine. For sulfur, look to cysteine or to methionine!
    For bases, you have arginine, lysine, and histidine. From protein we are formed! (Now the aromatics!)
    Tryptophan and tyrosine and phenylalanine! Aspartic and glutamic are both acids as we've seen.
    For amides, see asparagine and also glutamine. From protein we are formed!

      From what I understand, key employees were starting to leave around the time EA was starting to move in due to EAs reputation. Terrible working conditions and deadlines led to ME3 being low quality and rushed, and morale plummeted when management decided that having toxic "consultants" invited regularly was a good idea. These factors resulted in people who either had better prospects or didn't want to be marginalized for their race or beliefs to leave en masse resulting in Andromeda's wretched quality.
