    Hi everyone! Quick correction! The 3 letter abbreviation for isoleucine is Ile, not Ise! Sorry about that!

      I hate to be nitpicky but isoleucine is a constitutional isomer of leucine, not a conformational isomer. Conformational isomers have the same connectivity, just different bond angles

    I modified the mnemonics to make each word sound more like the name of the amino acid, thus making them even easier to remember:
    "Gliding Alaskans Value Lucy's Icy Profanities" -> Glycine, Alaline, Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Proline
    "Basically, His Lice Kept Aggressively Returning" -> Histidine, Lycine, Arginine

    Just an FYI: in your mnemonic for amide amino acids, you misspell "gluttonous" at 6:56 as "glutinous", which means "glue like in texture, sticky". So you could remove the quail's silverware and bib and depict it slathered in Elmer's.

    For the Acids I always remembered that DE-deprotinated. D matches with A because they're the 1st alphabetically and E matches with G because they're the 2nd alphabetically. On top of this, there is only one CH2 group for the 1st pair alphabetically, and 2 CH2 groups for the 2nd pair alphabetically. I hope this might help someone else!

    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!
