(a)
Interpretation:
The name of an amino acid with the three-letter abbreviation Trpneeds to be identified.
Concept Introduction :
The amino acid consists of two
The three-letter abbreviation is generally done by taking first three letters from its name.
For example, the three letter and one letter abbreviations of some of the amino acids is as follows:
Arginine-Arg and R
Asparagine-Asn and N
Aspartic acid-Asp and D
(b)
Interpretation:
The name of an amino acid with the one-letter abbreviation M needs to be identified.
Concept Introduction :
The amino acid consists of two functional groups that is amino group as well as carboxylic acid group. There are 20 essential amino acids which are different from each other due to the different R group attached to the carbon containing amino as well as carboxyl groups. The amino acids can be named using the three and one-letter abbreviations.
The three-letter abbreviation is generally done by taking first three letters from its name.
For example, the three letter and one letter abbreviations of some of the amino acids is as follows:
Arginine-Arg and R
Asparagine-Asn and N
Aspartic acid-Asp and D
(c)
Interpretation:
The name of an amino acid with the three-letter abbreviation Pro needs to be identified.
