Message definition (Amino acid)
===Chirality===
The [[carbon]] atom next to the [[carboxyl group]] is called the [[alpha carbon|α–carbon]]. In proteinogenic amino acids, it bears the amine and the R group or [[Substituent|side chain]] specific to each amino acid. With four distinct substituents, the α–carbon is [[stereogenic]] in all α-amino acids except glycine. All chiral proteogenic amino acids have the <small>L</small> configuration. They are "left-handed" [[enantiomer]]s, which refers to the [[stereoisomers]] of the alpha carbon.

Chirality

The carbon atom next to the carboxyl group is called the α–carbon. In proteinogenic amino acids, it bears the amine and the R group or side chain specific to each amino acid. With four distinct substituents, the α–carbon is stereogenic in all α-amino acids except glycine. All chiral proteogenic amino acids have the L configuration. They are "left-handed" enantiomers, which refers to the stereoisomers of the alpha carbon.
