Expert Solution
Step 1

Proteins are composed of amino acids, which are bound together by peptide linkage. Amino acids contain amino group and carboxyl group along with R side chain. The R side chain defines the characteristics of amino acid and so the overall structure of protein. Based on these R groups amino acids are classified into aliphatic, aromatic, hydrophilic and hydrophobic
