![]() That being said, I would agree that the amino acids with non-polar side-chains are the most strongly amphipathic. ![]() 1) There are actually thousands of amino acids§, but of the ones commonly found in proteins all except glycine are chiral and so will have D- and L- forms.Ĭonfusingly, D- and L- are not related to the direction that light is rotated!Ģ) Yes, each amino acid will have an isoelectric point and will exist as a zwitterion at that pH.ģ) Like many things, it is more a question of to what degree something is amphipathic rather than whether it is or is not amphipathic. ![]()
