Non-Polar Amino Acids Song

To the tune of “Daughters of Triton”:

We are the non-polar Aminos
Seven of us you need to know:
Glycine
. . It’s H makes it non-chrial
Alanine
. . It’s the next smallest of all
Valine
. . you almost lost it
Leucine
. . and it’s opposite
Isoleucine
. . just like the rest
Methionine
. . it’s has an S
And then there is the strangest in it’s circular debut
It is NOT aromatic so please don’t get confused
The N of it’s amino group is part of it’s side chain
It’s our sister, Pro (oh) line!
