  • What is the impact of aromatic amino acids on protein detection methods?
    Aromatic amino acids absorb UV light, aiding in protein quantification and detection.
  • How do charged amino acids participate in protein function?
    Charged amino acids can form salt bridges and participate in catalysis.
  • How do non-polar amino acids affect protein-protein interactions?
    Non-polar amino acids promote hydrophobic interactions between proteins.
  • How do polar amino acids affect protein-protein interactions?
    Polar amino acids can form hydrogen bonds, stabilizing protein-protein interactions.
