(a)
Interpretation:
The structural formula for the amino acid, threonine is to be drawn. The chiral carbon atom in it is to be identified. The four different groups attached to the chiral carbon atom are to be circled.
Concept introduction:
Amino acids are organic compounds which combine sequentially to generate a protein. They are known as the building blocks of the human body. The main elements present in amino acids are carbon, nitrogen and oxygen while the side chains attached to the chiral carbon atom contain other elements.

Answer to Problem 19.4E
The structural formula for the amino acid, aspartate is shown below.
The chiral carbon atom in it is shown below.
The four different groups attached to the chiral carbon atom are circled as shown below.
Explanation of Solution
Amino acids are formed by an amine and a carboxylic acid attached to a carbon atom with a characteristic side chain. The carboxylic acid in amino acids is usually in an ionic form and therefore, it is known as carboxylate group.
