Transcribed Image Text:The image depicts the chemical structure of the compound tyrosine, an amino acid. Here is a detailed description of the structure:
- **Amino Group (NH₂):** Positioned at the top left of the structure, consisting of a nitrogen atom (N) bonded to two hydrogen atoms (H).
- **Central Carbon (C):** At the center, bonded to the amino group, a hydrogen atom, and a side chain.
- **Carboxyl Group (COOH):** Located at the top right, it includes a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group (OH).
- **Side Chain (CH₂-C₆H₄OH):** Extends downward from the central carbon:
- **CH₂ Group:** Directly attached to the central carbon.
- **Phenol Group (C₆H₄OH):** A benzene ring (hexagon) with alternating double bonds, having a hydroxyl group (OH) attached at one carbon.
This structure represents tyrosine, which is involved in protein synthesis and various metabolic pathways.
