# Amino Acids and Their Roles in Protein Structure

## Instructions
Drag the correct amino acid into the corresponding box according to the roles they play.

### Amino Acid Options
- **Cysteine**
- **Proline**
- **Methionine**

### Roles to Fill
1. **First amino acid used in protein synthesis**
   - This box is for the amino acid that initiates protein synthesis.

2. **Forms kinks in the polypeptide backbone**
   - This box is for the amino acid known to cause bends in the polypeptide chain due to its structure.

3. **Forms disulfide bonds to stabilize protein tertiary and quaternary structure**
   - This box is for the amino acid responsible for creating disulfide bonds, crucial for protein stability.

### Additional Tools
- **Reset:** Clear selections and start over.
- **Help:** Access further instructions or hints.

## Explanation of Tasks
- Match each amino acid based on its particular role in protein functionality and structure.
- Interactive learning tool to understand protein synthesis and stability.

Explore more about each amino acid by selecting it and observing how it fits into protein synthesis pathways.
