Concept explainers
a.
To draw:
The structure of amino acid represented by “G”.
Introduction:
Amino acids contain a protonated
b.
To determine:
The structure of amino acid represented by “His”.
Introduction:
Amino acids contain a protonated amine and a carboxylic acid in the form of carboxylate ion. These two functional groups are bonded to a central carbon atom called the alpha-carbon. The protonated amine bonded to this carbon is called alpha-amino group and the carboxylate ion as the alpha carboxylate group. The alpha-carbon is also bonded to a hydrogen atom and a large side chain designated as R, which gives unique identification and characteristics to each amino acids.
c.
To determine:
The structure of amino acid represented by “Q”.
