Numbering conventions for amino acids. In traditional names, the carbon atoms adjacent to the carboxyl group are identified by the Greek letters , , , etc. In the official IUPAC/IUBMB chemical names or systematic names, the carbon atom in the carboxyl group is number 1 and the adjacent carbons are numbered sequentially. Thus, the atom in traditional names is the carbon 2 atom in systematic names.
Figure 3.1 Two representations of an L-amino acid at neutral pH. (a) General structure. An amino acid has a carboxylate group (whose carbon atom is designated C-1), an amino group, a hydrogen atom, and a side chain (or R group), all attached to C-2 (the -carbon). Solid wedges indicate bonds above the plane of the paper; dashed wedges indicate bonds below the plane of the paper. The blunt ends of wedges are nearer the viewer than the pointed ends. (b) Ball-and-stick model of serine (whose R group is —CH 2 OH). Note the alternative numbering and lettering systems for the carbon atoms.

Assignment of configuration by the RS system. (a) Each group attached to a chiral carbon is assigned a priority based on atomic mass, 4 being the lowest priority. (b) By orienting the molecule with the priority 4 group pointing away (behind the chiral carbon) and tracing the path from the highest priority group to the lowest, the absolute configuration can be established. If the sequence 1, 2, 3 is clockwise, the configuration is R . If the sequence 1, 2, 3 is counterclockwise, the configuration is S . L -Serine has the S configuration.

Figure 3.9 Peptide bond between two amino acids. The structure of the peptide linkage can be viewed as the product of a condensation reaction in which the -carboxyl group of one amino acid condenses with the -amino group of another amino acid. The result is a dipeptide in which the amino acids are linked by a peptide bond. Here, alanine is condensed with serine to form alanylserine.
