Amino acids are represented by the following general structure:
Find out the pair in which amino acid is correctly matched with its group R:
Show Hint
- Lys - -(CH\(_2\))\(_4\)-NH\(_2\)
- Val - -CH\(_2\)CH(CH\(_3\))\(_2\)
- Thr - -CH\(_2\)OH
- Asp - -CH\(_2\)CONH\(_2\)
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The R group of lysine is -(CH\(_2\))\(_4\)-NH\(_2\).
This makes lysine a basic amino acid due to the presence of an additional amino group in the side chain.
The R group of valine is -CH(CH\(_3\))\(_2\).
The given option -CH\(_2\)CH(CH\(_3\))\(_2\) is incorrect.
The R group of threonine is -CH(OH)CH\(_3\).
The given option -CH\(_2\)OH is incorrect.
The R group of asparagine is -CH\(_2\)CONH\(_2\).
The given option -CH\(_2\)CONH\(_2\) is for asparagine, not aspartic acid. Aspartic acid's R group is -CH\(_2\)COOH.
Therefore, the correct match is Lys - -(CH\(_2\))\(_4\)-NH\(_2\).
Final Answer:Lys - -(CH\(_2\))\(_4\)-NH\(_2\).
