    An introduction to amino acids, what they are, how they look, how to draw them (Fischer projections), which form exists in biological organisms.
    An amino acid, put simply, is a compound with both an amino group and a carboxylic acid group. So, the term is fairly general. In biology and biochemistry, "amino acid" refers specifically to alpha L amino acids, of which there are 20 that are the monomers / building blocks for proteins. There are also D amino acids, but they do not exist in biological organisms. The L and D amino acids are enantiomers of each other and are assigned L or D based on the configuration as compared to the carbohydrate glyceraldehyde.
    I specifically mention that, of the 20 amino acids, all except for glycine are chiral. I also show how to draw amino acids in the Zwitterion form.

    Hello, thank you for the great videos!, im just wondering regarding the amino group, what is the difference between H2N , and H3N, in your videos i noticed that you write them as H3N, but in my lectures/other videos its written as H2N , so im only a little bit confused , thank you in advance!

      uumaarr
      H2N = written in basic form
      H3N = written in acid conjugate form

    great lecture, but please accentuate that there are more than 20 a.a., it's just that only 20 of them make up proteins. I assume you know that, but it can be very confusing for beginners :)

    • @MoofUniversity
      @MoofUniversity  10 років тому +3

      Z QWu I use The Mind of Moof by Moof. Lol. Just joking. I actually have read and used a bunch of books to learn this stuff. I've used Tymoczko's Biochemistry: A Short Course, Lenhninger Principles of Biochemistry, and Mark's Medical Biochemistry, to name a few. I also do Google searches here and there and check stuff on scholarly publications. Also, I of course used my notes from undergrad. There have been other sources that have contributed to my knowledge, but those are the ones I could think of immediately.
