Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins. Each amino

Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins. Each amino acid contains an amine group (-NH), a carboxyl group (-COOH), and an R group called a side chain. These are all bonded to a carbon called the alpha carbon. The R groups are different for each amino acid. In addition to the name of the amino acid, each one has a three-character and a one- character abbreviation. Which choice correctly pairs the name of the amino acid with its three-character abbreviation?
