Amino Acids Study Aids Bundle +4

Amino Acid Side Chain Tutor is an app designed to help you memorize the structures, names, chemical properties and features of each of the twenty amino acids. It does this by emphasizing the features of the side chains as opposed to the structure common to all amino acids. The structures are displayed in color to help memorize each atom in the side chain. There is special emphasis on learning which side chains have which atomic elements, which have cyclic structures, single bonds, double bonds and how many carbon atoms are in each side chain. You will learn which amino acid is polar, non polar, positively charged or negatively charged. You will learn the shorthand codes for each amino acid.

Amino Acid Codons Tutor is an app designed to help you memorize the mRNA codons of the genetic code that correspond to the twenty amino acids and the start signal methionine and stop signal codons. The app is designed to take advantage of repetition in the third base of the codons to help simplify and accelerate memorization. An ideal tool for the professional geneticist, interested scientist or the ambitious intern seeking to create a good first impression with an employer or professor.
