GVSU Chemistry Tutorial: Advanced Markers Identifying Key Elements of Amino Acids: 1. Atom key: Recognizing colors of atoms is crucial in understanding the structure and properties of amino acids. 2. N-terminus location: This is the starting point of a polypeptide chain, marking the end of the alpha-helix. 3. Side chain location: This part of an amino acid can be polar or nonpolar, influencing the overall charge and function of the molecule. 4. C-terminus location: The ending point of a polypeptide chain, denoting the beginning of the alpha-helix. Important Questions: Q1) In which direction do side chains point in a beta sheet? Side chains in a beta sheet always point downward. Q2) There are 10 amino acids in this sheet. Each amino acid has its own unique side chain that plays a crucial role in determining the overall structure and function of the molecule.
