Amino Acids. Amino acids are the monomers of proteins. They have a positively-charged amino group on one side and a negatively-charged carboxyl group on the other. Attached to the central carbon is a variable group called the 'R' group. This group is different for each amino acid. There are 20 amino acids in human cells.
Protein structure is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in an amino acid-chain molecule. Proteins are polymers â specifically polypeptides â formed from sequences of amino acids, the monomers of the polymer. A single amino acid monomer may also be called a residue indicating a repeating unit of a polymer. Proteins form by amino acids undergoing condensation reactions, in which the amino acids lose one water molecule per reaction in order to attach to one another with a peptide ...
