Amino Acid Groups
(3D representation)

by:     Dr. A. Rachedi (rachedi@bioinformer.co.uk)

The following 3D conformations of Amino Acids are real-time drawn by a Java Applet application.

To rotate the molecules, bring the mouse pointer to any of the windows and
press-holding the left-hand mouse botton, then drug the mouse to whatever
direction.
