Amino acids

[fleur64]

Hi,
I've been reading from people who have taken the exam that we should know "everything" about the amino acids. What exactly does that mean? I know how to draw them, which are basic/ nonbasic and the side chains. Is there anything else? Should i know specific pkas?

All 20 with 3 and 1 letter abbrev. Draw them this way. Seriously. Draw them. After 3 or 4 times, there is no more need to memorize them; you have it.

Full names, 3-letter abbreviations, 1-letter abbreviations, side chains, hydrophobic/polar uncharged/acidic/basic, and any special properties.
