In this article we will discuss about the physical and chemical properties of amino acids. Important Physical Properties of Amino Acids: 1. Optical Isomerism: All amino acids, except glycine which has two H atoms on the α-carbon, have an asymmetric α-carbon (the 4 valence bonds are attached to different atoms or groups). As may be […]
