Building Blocks of Proteins

  • Amino Group (NH2) and Carboxyl Group (-COOH) on a central Carbon
  • Similar Structure with an R Group

COOH
|
H2N- C -H
|
R

All LIVING SYSTEMS produce ALPHA-Amino Acids
-The Carbon ATOM is bonded to COOH is the Alpha Carbon, so if the AMINE is also attached it is an ALPHA AMINO ACID!!
-Entonimers - stereoisomers... mirror images
-Body uses L-Form ONlY... Amine residue on LEFT.
D-Drugs are NON-EFFECTIVE to use
