Unique properties of Amino Acids
A. acids contain both a carboxyl group and an Amino group. Since one group acts like a weak acid (carboxyl) (-) the other acts as a weak base (amine) (+) so an amino acid can exist in three anion states.
Some have polar side groups, some nonpolar.

A protein’s 3-D shape is the result of the interactions responsible for the secondary and tertiary sturcture
Influenced by physical and chemical environmental conditions
If altered may become DENATURED and lose its native conformation
