Which of the following amino acids may alter the direction of a polypeptide chain and cause a section of this chain to bend?
Answer:
Proline
Explanation:
Proline is a unique amino acid, It is the only amino acid present
wher ethe side chain is connected to the protein backbone twice
that forms a five membered nitrogen containing ring. Proline due to
this feature is unable to occupy main chain conformations that can
be easily adopted by other amino acids and so, proine is found at
very tight junctions in the structure of the protein , that is
where the polypeptide chain changes it's directionso we say proline
can alter the direction.

The chemical structures of the 20 standard amino acids at pH 7, along with their 3 and 1 letter codes, are givern in alphabetical order below. While the oxygen and nitrogen atoms of the peptide bonds may serve as a donor atom to complex a metal ion, very often the ligands for the metal come from the amino acid side chains. Takea few moments to examine the chemical structures of the different side chains. Circle the side chains that you...
