Detailed and comprehensive notes on unit 3.3.13 (amino acids, proteins & DNA) for AQA A level chemistry. Covers: amino acid structure and properties, zwitterions, amino acid nomenclature, protein structure, enzymes, DNA structure, DNA polymerisation / complementary base pairing and anti-cancer drugs (cisplatin). I hope that you find this resource useful.

I achieved a high A* Grade in my final A-Level exams using these notes!!! I believe you can achieve an A* if you can memorise these notes! Simply use blurting, a method of active recall, to write everything you remember from the notes, then identify the parts you couldn’t remember, then repeat until you can remember it all! If you can do that, you’ve got an A* in the bag! They are clear, concise, and are laid out according to the specification; there is no information missing or in excess...

Detailed notes on the AQA A level topic, amino acids, proteins and DNA Amino acids, thin layer chromatography and calculating Rf values are described in details with diagrams and calculations where necessary
