Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of zwitterionic form of cysteine needs to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amino as well as acidic groups. The general molecular formula of an amino acid is as follows:

H2N-CH(R)COOH

Here, R refers to different group for different amino acids. If there is more than one amino group present in an amino acid, they are considered as basic amino acids and if there is more than one carboxylic group then, they are considered as acidic amino acids.

A zwitterion contains both positively and negativity charged groups in one molecule.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of cation formed from cysteine after the reaction with acid needs to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amino as well as acidic groups. The general molecular formula of an amino acid is as follows:

H2N-CH(R)COOH

Here, R refers to different group for different amino acids. If there is more than one amino group present in an amino acid, they are considered as basic amino acids and if there is more than one carboxylic group then they are considered as acidic amino acids.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The structure of anion formed from cysteine after the reaction with base needs to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amino as well as acidic groups. The general molecular formula of an amino acid is as follows:

H2N-CH(R)COOH

Here, R refers to different group for different amino acids. If there is more than one amino group present in an amino acid, they are considered as basic amino acids and if there is more than one carboxylic group then they are considered as acidic amino acids.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
(a) Draw the chemical structure of a generic amino acid,using R for the side chain. (b) When amino acids react toform proteins, do they do so via substitution, addition,or condensation reactions? (c) Draw the bond that linksamino acids together in proteins. What is this called?
(a) Which amino acid is present in higher amounts than glycine?(b) How many more molecules of that amino acid are presentthan the number of molecules in 1.0 mole of glycine?
