Here we have a metastream model of an Amino acid
If you cannot see a molecule in the box below install the metastream plugin.
| Amino Acids are the building blocks of all proteins. There are 20 different Amino acids. This shows the 3 Dimentional structure of an Amino acid. Dark Blue represents Carbon, Light Blue represents Nitrogen, yellow represents Hydrogen and White represents oxygen. The Amino group is shown here as the pale blue nitrogen linked to 3 Hydrogens. The organic acid is the dark blue carbon that is linked to two oxygens. |
