Remember the basic structure and nomenclature of each amino acid, understand their chemical properties and classification,
Hello! This is an amino acid set by Fadil Nohur, aka fiddle_n. Here are a list of the 20 amino acids coded in the genome. Amino acids vary in their difficulty for learning. Some amino acids are easy to learn, whilst some defy memorisation (yes, tryptophan, I'm looking at you!). All amino acid pictures have been painstakingly edited and uploaded by none other than me, for your learning pleasure! Have fun learning, and maybe give me a high five if you feel like it ;)
