Question

Difference between polar and non polar amino acids

Answer 1

Polar amino acids. ... Polarity of the amino acids affects the overall structure of a protein. Polar amino acid residues have a tendency to be on the outside of a protein, due to the hydrophilic properties of the side chain.

The non-polar amino acids (shown here) include: alanine, cysteine, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, tryptophan, tyrosine and valine.

Answer 2

$polar$

Polarity of the amino acids affects the overall structure of a protein. Polar amino acid residues have a tendency to be on the outside of a protein, due to the hydrophilic properties of the side chain.

$non \: polar$

Non Polar Amino Acids have equal number of amino and carboxyl groups and are neutral. These amino acids are hydrophobic and have no charge on the 'R' group. The amino acids in this group are alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, phenyl alanine, glycine, tryptophan, methionine and proline.
