  2. BD- and L-configuration indicate the optical activity of amino acids.
  3. CD- and L-configuration refer to the spatial arrangement of atoms around the chiral carbon in amino acids.
  4. DD- and L-configuration specify the acidity or basicity of amino acids.

Correct answer

A. D-form means that the amino (−NH 2 ) group is present towards the right hand side whereas L-form shows the pre

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (A) D-form means that the amino (−NH 2 ) group is present towards the right hand side whereas L-form shows the presence of the (−NH 2 ) group on the left hand side.
