Question
which class of amino acids contains side chains that would be unable to form hydrogen bonds with water? view available hint(s) amino acids with basic side chains amino acids with polar side chains amino acids with electrically charged side chains. amino acids with nonpolar side chains amino acids with acidic side chains
Hydrogen bonds form between polar groups and water. Nonpolar side - chains lack the necessary electronegative atoms (like O, N) to form hydrogen bonds with water. Basic, polar, electrically charged, and acidic side - chains have functional groups that can participate in hydrogen bonding with water.
