L-Amino Acid Structures
Notes: 1) loading of all molecules may take some time; 2) molecules are not all shown at the same scale
Backbones are oriented amino (left) to carboxy (right)

R-group sidechains project upward from the backbone alpha carbonExcept for the alpha carbon, the CPK atom coloring scheme is used: C, H, N, O, P, SName colors indicate: hydrophobic, polar (non-charged), polar (charged-basic), polar (charged-acidic) |
