1.1 Basics
1.1.1 Functional Groups
Components of amino acids that, well, build an amino acid (among other things):
1.1.2 The Dang Amino Acids
An Amino Acid is… *(H-O-C=O) Carboxylic acid + Single Carbon Backbone
- Amine (H3N+)*
At the carbon backbone, any arbiturary thing "R group, or Sidechain" may be connected to it {ring, chain, etc.} that is unique to the amino acid
Here's an amino acid

The White parts => "Backbone" aforementioned
The Orange parts => "Sidechain"
A small chain of amino acids are called "peptide". Put many of those together and you get a…
1.2 Protein!
KBhBIO101Proteins are important biological structures formed by dehydrating multiple amino acids together.
1.3 Polymerization
The process by which Amino Acids get chained together to make KBhBIO101Proteins is called "Polymerization via Dehydration."
Take two amino acids, take the H-O out of the alcahol, take the H out of the Amine. Fill the hole with the other one
