Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The amino acid shown in the ball and stick model with all uncharged atoms should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Amino acids are organic compounds containing two
(b)
Interpretation:
The one-letter and three-letter abbreviations for the given amino acid should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Amino acids are organic compounds containing two functional groups namely amino and carboxylic group. Amino group is attached to the alpha carbon, carbon adjacent to the carbonyl group making them alpha amino acids.
(c)
Interpretation:
The form of amino acid present at pH 11 should be drawn.
