For example, lipid bilayers form because only one section of the lipids is able to interact with the water to form hydrogen bonds. See lecture 2 question 1 and 3. See questions 2 and 3 above. Be able to draw hydrogen bonds between water and other molecules. R-OH Hydrophobic bonding is the aggregation of nonpolar molecules with the exclusion of water.
Amphipathic molecules have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions.
The L refers to the Fischer designation of chirality. The alpha refers to the carbon atom adjacent to the carboxyl carbon atom. You need to remember how to draw amino acids linked to peptide bonds. Structures of side chains will be provided. Homologous proteins are proteins with similar amino acid sequences specified by genes derived from a common ancestral gene.
