MCQ
Identify the correct statement among the following:
  • A
    All naturally occurring amino acids except glycine contain one chiral centre.
  • B
    All naturally occurring amino acids are optically active.
  • C
    Glutamic acid is the only amino acid that contains a -COOH group at the side chain.
  • Amino acid, cysteine easily undergo dimerization due to the presence of free SH group.

Answer

Correct option: D.
Amino acid, cysteine easily undergo dimerization due to the presence of free SH group.
(D) Amino acid, cysteine easily undergo dimerization due to the presence of free SH group.
Explanation: * Isoleucine has 2 chiral centre
* Glycine is optically inactive
* Aspartic acid also contain COOH group at the side chain.
* Cysteine easily dimmerise due to free SH group
