The amino acid in which R group is - C H 2 – C H 2 – C O O H is

Options

  1. Aaspartic acid
  2. Bglutamic acid
  3. Cvaline
  4. Dthreonine

Correct answer

B. glutamic acid

Step-by-step solution

Amino acid contain a variable part 'R' due to which different types of amino acids are seen. This R can any aliphatic or aromatic chain. If R contains COOH then such amino acids are acidic amino acids. Examples are Glutamic and Aspartic acids. In Glutamic acids, R is – C H 2 – C H 2 – C H 2 – C O O H while in Aspartic acid R is – C H 2 – C O O H .
