- Which of the following statements about aromatic amino acids is correct? (a) All are strongly hydrophilic. (b) Histidine's ring structure results in its being categorized as aromatic or basic, depending on pH. (c) On a molar basis, tryptophan absorbs more ultraviolet light than tyrosine. (d) The major contribution to the characteristic absorption of light at 280 nm by proteins is the phenylalanine R group. (e) The presence of a ring structure in its R group determines whether or not an amino acid is aromatic.arrow_forwardThe common naturally occurring form of cysteine has a chirality center that is named (R), however; (a) What is the relationship between (R)-cysteine and (S)-alanine?
