(a)
Interpretation : Need to comprehend the amino acid on the basis of given R-group and also identify the type of interaction occur between these R-group.
Concept Introduction : Amino acid contains both −COOH and − NH2 groups bonded on same C atom of the molecule. Hence the general formula of amino acid can be shown as given below.
Here R-group varies for different amino acids.
