Question
Chapter 20.4, Problem 1QQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The correct statement about the handedness of standard amino acids found in proteins has to be stated.
Concept introduction: Proteins are the
Handedness is a form of isomerism. Many molecules, including the carbohydrates, amino acids possess this property. Those molecules that possess this property exist either in right-handed form or left-handed form. These are related to each other in a similar way as the pair of hands. These forms are mirror images of each other.
