Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism for the reaction of cysteine side chain with iodoacetic acid has to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Cysteine amino acid has thiols group.

Iodo-group of iodoacetic acid is substituted by thiol (-SH) through SN2 reaction and dissociates the proton on thiol.
