Still, the Home uses the Google Assistant (Google's aptly named digital assistant built into the Home and Android phones like the Pixel -- and now ) to respond to voice commands conversationally, something Google was eager to demonstrate when the Google Home made its initial debut back in May 2016.
Amino acids were the vital molecules that formed in this experiment and supported this hypothesis for the origin of life. An amino acid is a molecule that contains two functional groups, an amine and a carboxylic acid, as shown in Figure 1. In this illustration there is an additional group called the side chain, designated with an R. The variation seen in naturally occurring amino acids arises from differences in this side chain.
Figure 1. The amino acids found in proteins have a common stereochemistry. In the structure illustrated in Figure , the amino group is always to the left side of the alpha carbon. In organic chemistry, this stereochemistry is referred to as L (for levo, meaning left). Thus, the amino acids found in proteins are Lâalpha amino acids. (Biochemists, being creatures of habit, usually do not refer to amino acid stereochemistry in the R and S nomenclature.) A few Dâamino acids are found in nature, although not in cellular proteins. (The D comes from dextro, meaning right.) For example, some peptide antibiotics, such as bacitracin, contain Dâamino acids. The carboxyll and amino groups of the amino acids can respectively donate a proton to and accept a proton from water.
