Group of seven amino acids with hydrophobic R groups lacking terminal electronegative atoms, making them water-fearing. Hydrophobic R Group
Side chain that avoids water due to absence of terminal electronegative atoms, contributing to nonpolarity. Glycine
Amino acid with the smallest R group, consisting of a single hydrogen atom, allowing it to fit into tight spaces. Alanine
Amino acid with a simple methyl group as its R group, serving as a structural leader among chiral amino acids. Valine
Amino acid whose R group forms a V shape, essentially an alanine with two methyl groups branching off. Leucine
Amino acid with an R group that is a loose extension of valine, featuring an extra methylene group for added flexibility. Isoleucine
Isomer of leucine with a lopsided valine-like R group, same atoms but different arrangement, creating asymmetry. Methionine
Amino acid with an R group resembling an M shape, containing a methylthiol group with a sulfur atom. Proline
Amino acid with a cyclic R group that loops back to the amino group, unique for its pentagon-like structure. Methyl Group
Functional group consisting of CH3, present in alanine and part of methionine's R group. Methylene Group
Functional group consisting of CH2, found in the extended chains of leucine and proline. Methylthiol Group
Functional group in methionine's R group, combining a methyl group and a sulfur atom. Isomer
Molecule with identical atom types and counts as another, but differing in arrangement, as seen in isoleucine and leucine. Cyclic Structure
Ring-like configuration in proline's R group, connecting back to the amino group and altering backbone properties. Mnemonic
Memory aid, such as 'GAV LIMP,' used to recall the seven nonpolar amino acids efficiently.
