Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The amino acid which is most acidic is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The chemical compounds in which carbon is bonded with the acidic and basic group along with hydrocarbon side chain are known as amino acids. The amino acids are classified into acidic, basic, polar, non-polar, essential, and non-essential categories. The three-word abbreviation or one-word abbreviation is used for amino acids.
(b)
Interpretation:
The amino acid which is the most basic is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The chemical compounds in which carbon is bonded with the acidic and basic group along with hydrocarbon side chain are known as amino acids. The amino acids are classified into acidic, basic, polar, non-polar, essential, and non-essential categories. The three-word abbreviation or one-word abbreviation is used for amino acids.
(c)
Interpretation:
The amino acids which can exist as diastereomers are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The chemical compounds in which carbon is bonded with the acidic and basic group along with hydrocarbon side chain are known as amino acids. The amino acids are classified into acidic, basic, polar, non-polar, essential, and non-essential categories. The three-word abbreviation or one-word abbreviation is used for amino acids.
(d)
Interpretation:
The amino acid which has zero optical rotation under all conditions is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The chemical compounds in which carbon is bonded with the acidic and basic group along with hydrocarbon side chain are known as amino acids. The amino acids are classified into acidic, basic, polar, non-polar, essential, and non-essential categories. The three-word abbreviation or one-word abbreviation is used for amino acids.
