(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amino acid stands for the given abbreviation Ser has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are the molecules containing an amine group, a carboxylic group, and a side-chain that is specific to each amino acid. They are the basic structural building units of protein and other biomolecules.

General formula for amino acid is given below,

Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are the key elements in amino acid.

Some amino acids and their corresponding abbreviations are listed below,

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Amino}\text{acid}& \text{Abbreviation}\\ \underset{\_}{\text{Ala}}\text{nine}& Ala\\ \underset{\_}{Thr}eonine& Thr\\ \underset{\_}{Phe}nylalanine& Phe\\ \underset{\_}{\text{His}}\text{tidine}& \text{His}\\ \underset{\_}{\text{Met}}\text{hionine}& \text{Met}\\ \underset{\_}{\text{Cys}}\text{teine}& \text{Cys}\\ \underset{\_}{\text{Pro}}\text{line}& \text{Pro}\end{array}$
