You're the man. Explanations are so on point. Especially with the description of the structures. An incredibly underrated MCAT resource. Thank you for what you do.

Perfect series to binge as I self-isolate thanks to our wonderful test & trace system. Feeling fit as a butcher's dog though!

i thought tyrosine was non-polar?

[@medcatmcat]

Tyrosine is considered polar as far as its category for the MCAT. Every amino acid is on a spectrum as far as how polar or hydrophilic it is, and you may have learned it as non-polar given that it's among the less polar of the polar amino acids. Let me know if that helps!
