Interpretation:
Two
Concept introduction:
Amino acids are the organic compounds containing a
Amino acids consist of both positive as well negative groups in their structure and are called as ampholytes.
Answer to Problem 27P
Solution: The two
Explanation of Solution
The enzyme-catalyzed process for the conversion of substrates into more complex product that takes place in several steps is known as biosynthesis. In this process, the conversion of simple compounds to macromolecules occurs by modification or by joining of simple compounds. Penicillin is a complex molecule that forms cysteine and valine on breaking.
Therefore, the two
Cysteine and valine are the two
