Organic chemistry: Amino acids and peptides (1)

Organic chemistry: Biochemistry--amino acids, peptides, and polypeptide sequencing. Acid/base properties of amino acids. How to draw amino acids at various pHs. How to determine pI of a peptide; zwitterion. Acylation of the N-terminus; conversion of the C-terminus into an amide. Total acid hydrolysis (TAH). Sangers reagent and Dansyl chloride. Hydrazine (NH2NH2). Proteolytic enzymes--chymotrypsin, trypsin, thermolysin. A polypeptide sequencing problem

You are an incredibly gifted teacher.

[dreadyteddy]

Very well presented. Might well watch other videos!

[luckylunatik1]

All paths lead to your website, don't they? ;) Great videos.

[naoufelabs1]

Thank you

[Dandona7]

@copito94 me too :-)

[rt36crazyfists]

Great videos thanks for posting! I'm a poor college kid and have no money to give. Does anyone actually ever donate?

[tehxaznx]

ammonium is actually the charged cation NH4+ not NH3+

@Calaf120 Italian? I am a spanish speaker and I love that I understand what you wrote. :)

[HASMADU]

that girls responding sounds hwat!!!

[copito94]

i will be donating after i graduate from medical school in a few more years....god bless you always!

[Bigrich693]

Great instructor!!!!!! i will definitely be donating. THANKS AGAIN!!!!
