Tryptophan

Build a tryptophan amino acid structure model. L tryptophan has a non polar R group; build and compare it to the other amino acids you can build with this kit.

You can link amino acids to make peptides using a trigonal planar 3 hole nitrogen atom. The Zwitterion form, fragment shown in inlay, requires an additional tetrahedral nitrogen atom. Both atoms can be added to the shopping cart from Related Products below. Add one of each per model or all 20 at once.

Use our free 3D Molecular Model Builder tool to guide you. It can show any amino acid and the parts needed to build it.
