Homework Statement
Estimate the volumes of the various amino acids in units of nm^3
Homework Equations
V = 4/3*pi*r^3
The Attempt at a Solution
Is it alright to treat the amino acids as spheres? Using this I was thinking of measuring the distance, atomic radii and bond length, between end of R group and C terminus. Is this the right way to go or am I missing the problem completely?
