Does anyone know of a website that has all of the 20 amino acids not just the name but the actual thing like c-oh thing?
thanks so much!!!
No, but here is the next best thing:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid
In the section "on human nutrition", there are links to each of the amino acids, giving a structural diagrams, and a condensed structural formula.

Yes, there are several websites where you can find information about the 20 amino acids, including their names and chemical structures. Here are a few options:
1. PubChem (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/): PubChem is a free chemistry database maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). It provides detailed information about various compounds, including amino acids. To find the information, simply search for the specific amino acid name, and you will be able to access its chemical structure, properties, and other related data.
2. ChemSpider (http://www.chemspider.com/): ChemSpider is another comprehensive chemical database that offers information on a wide range of compounds. You can search for individual amino acid names and find their chemical structures along with other relevant data.
3. PDB (Protein Data Bank) (https://www.rcsb.org/): PDB is a worldwide repository of information about the 3D structures of biological macromolecules, including proteins. While its primary focus is on protein structures, you can also find information about individual amino acids within the proteins. To access these details, search for the specific protein containing the amino acid of interest, and navigate to the section where its sequence is listed. Amino acids are typically represented by their one-letter codes, and you can find their chemical structures in the form of abbreviated abbreviations.
Remember to use these websites as references and verify the information you find to ensure accuracy.
