IB Biology HL B1.2.1 Generalized amino acid structure
Practise identifying and drawing the general amino acid structure, including the central carbon, amine group, carboxyl group, and R-group.
How this is tested
- draw the general amino acid structure with all groups bonded to the central carbon
- identify carboxyl and amine groups in structural formulae and protein diagrams
- link proteins with nitrogen or sulphur where questions test elemental composition
