- All of the amino acids that are used to synthesize human proteins (with the exception of glycine) have which one of the following in common?
- An aromatic group
- A hydroxyl group
- An asymmetric carbon in the D-configuration
- An asymmetric carbon in the L-configuration
- An asymmetric β-carbon
Please explain the reasoning behind the correct answer.
Homework Answers
Answer is d).
Amino acid contain Amino and carboxy groups. Both of these groups are present on same alpha carbon which is asymmetric and have configuration L. Nature contain L-amino acid in majority.

“Amino acids used in making a polypeptide have an amino group and carboxyl group, and these groups can be present on any carbon atoms.” Is that a correct statement? Why so? What is the basis for classification of amino acids to non-polar (but not aromatic), polar, and two oppositely charged (at physiological pH) amino acids? Provide examples with their exact name, three letter and single letter codes.
