Question

In words, briefly describe the chemical characteristics of each amino acid R group. For example: "histidine is a small ring structure that has a pKa around 6 that allows it to be easily protonated and deprotonated". Or "Serine contains a hydroxyl group" Briefly describe where you may find each amino acid in a protein structure or mechanism. For example: "Histidine is commonly found in catalytic triads due to its easily manipulated pKa and ability to act as an acid or base" OR "serine is commonly found in catalytic triads as it can be deprotonated and perform covalent catalysis AND is a common site for phosphorylation."
