Identify the correct statements.
A. Arginine and Tryptophan are essential amino acids.
B. Histidine does not contain heterocyclic ring in its structure.
C. Proline is a six membered cyclic ring amino acid.
D. Glycine does not have chiral centre.
E. Cysteine has characteristic feature of side chain as MeS−CH2−CH2−\mathrm{MeS}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options

  1. AA and D Only
  2. BB and E Only
  3. CC and E Only
  4. DC and D Only

Correct answer

A. A and D Only

Step-by-step solution

A. Arginine and Tryptophan are essential amino acids - True
B. Histidine contains imidazole ring (heterocyclic ring with N) - Statement is False
C. Proline has a 5-membered pyrrolidine ring, not 6-membered - False
D. Glycine (NH2−CH2−COOHNH_2-CH_2-COOH) has no chiral center (α-carbon has two H atoms) - True
E. Cysteine side chain is −CH2−SH-CH_2-SH (thiol). MeS−CH2−CH2−MeS-CH_2-CH_2- is the side chain of Methionine, not Cysteine - False
Correct statements: A and D only
