a.
To draw:
The structure of leucine and mark an asterisk (*) next to any chiral carbon centers.
Introduction:
Amino acids are the integral components of a protein molecule. Amino acids contain a protonated
b.
To determine:
The structure of glutamate and mark an asterisk (*) next to any chiral carbon centers.
Introduction:
Amino acids are the integral components of a protein molecule. 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 larger side chain designated as R, which gives unique identification and characteristics to each amino acids.
