The following dipeptide derivative is used as an artificial sweetener:
The constituent α-amino acids of this dipeptide are
The constituent α-amino acids of this dipeptide are
- phenylalanine and glutamic acid.
- phenylalanine and aspartic acid
- tyrosine and aspartic acid.
- tyrosine and glutamic acid.
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The dipeptide structure shown in the question corresponds to the sweetener aspartame. Aspartame is made up of two amino acids: phenylalanine and aspartic acid. The chemical structure shown matches the combination of these two amino acids, where phenylalanine is linked to aspartic acid.
