Asparagine amino acid is a non-essential amino acid as it is being produced in our body from the other amino acid. It is one of the natural amino acids. It has codons AAU and AAC. Its side chain functional group … Continue reading
Arginine is an amino acid with basic side chain and positive charge. It is one of the non-essential amino acids, therefore, it is produced in our body with the help of other amino acids. In premature infants, it is essential … Continue reading
Alanine is the amino acid with non-polar aliphatic side chains being its methyl group non-reactive and is hydrophobic i.e. water repellent. It is the non-essential amino acid. It is synthesized in the body. It was first obtained in 1879. It … Continue reading
Valine is an essential amino acid with an aliphatic side chain. It is non-polar in nature. It has GUC, GUU, GUA, and GUG codons. It was isolated from the casein in 1901 by German chemist Emil Fischer. It is hydrophobic … Continue reading
