D-Amino acid

D-Amino acids are amino acids where the stereogenic carbon alpha to the amino group has the D-configuration. For most naturally-occurring amino acids, this carbon has the L-configuration. D-Amino acids are occasionally found in nature as residues in proteins. They are formed from ribosomally-derived D-amino acid residues. Amino acids, as components of peptides, peptide hormones, structural and immune proteins, are the most important bioregulators involved in all life processes along with nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids. "Environmental D-amino acids are thought to be derived from organic diagenesis such as racemization and release from bacterial cell walls and even from microbial production." (Wikipedia).

Acids and Bases - Short Revision || CBSE Science || || Infinity Learn Class 9&10

Acids and bases are two types of substances that are fundamental to chemistry. An acid is a substance that donates protons (hydrogen ions, H+) to a solution, while a base is a substance that accepts protons or donates hydroxide ions (OH-) to a solution. There are several ways to define and

Amino Acids

It's time to start learning about all the monomers that make up large biomolecules, and the first one we will look at is the amino acid. These make up proteins, which is most of what you are, so this is pretty important stuff! Watch the whole Biochemistry playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveB
