Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
The name of the given amino acid.
Introduction:
The identity of every amino acid depends upon its side chain or R group. Amino acids are represented by three-letter and one-letter abbreviations. Earlier three letter abbreviations were used by scientists to represent amino acids. Then they begin to use one-letter abbreviation to name longer chains of amino acids.
