Hey hope this helps. I'm a normal person who wanted to understand all of this and I sincerely put in the work to be able to read these papers as if I had formal training. I try not to act like I know anything, but I certainly know what isoleucine is and you can too. https://aklectures.com/subject/biochemistry/introduction-to-proteins https://aklectures.com/subject/biochemistry/introduction-to-... This entire biochem series was worth watching. If you look up every word you don't know, things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoleucine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoleucine are not as impenetrable as you might think. Words, they're all worth putting in the work to understand. At least from my perspective :)
