Question
Chapter 3.8, Problem DQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The correct stereochemical descriptor for the given amino acids has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Priority rules:
- Priorities based on
atomic number
- When priority cannot be assigned on the basis of the atoms bonded directly to the chiral center
- Atoms participating in a double or triple bond are considered to be bonded to an equivalent number of phantom atoms.
For example,
- Priority assignment is made at the first point of difference between groups (should not be based on the larger group).

The side chain of cysteine is weakly acidic. Suppose in a protein, the side chain of a cysteine residue is surrounded by the side chains of several isoleucine residues. Would this make the side chain of the cysteine residue more acidic or less acidic? Please explain your answer.
