Week of 10/31/16

I was in New York City with the choir this past Tuesday. We got to see an amazing opera, and I had so much fun. Unfortunately, this meant that I could not attend my internship. Because we did not meet, I decided to take a few minutes once we returned from the trip to gather resources for my amino acid studies. The most useful diagram I found is shown below.

I also love Leah4sciMCAT's videos.She has clear, concise presentations on amino acid structure, function, and properties. Here is a sample video about basic structures of amino acids.

All of these resources make it so much easier to study amino acids. Thank goodness for modern technology! Can't wait to get back to my internship next week.
