Explanation:
The alpha carbon (Cα) in organic molecules refers to the first carbon atom that attaches to a functional group, such as a carbonyl. The second carbon atom is called the beta carbon (Cβ), and the system continues naming in alphabetical order with Greek letters.

A carboxyl group is made up of one carbon and two oxygen atoms. That carboxyl group has a negative charge, since it is a carboxylic acid that has lost its hydrogen atom. What is left is the carboxyl group which is called a conjugate base. The second carbon is connected to the amino group.
