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 - CH _ 2 - CH _ 2 -. Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options

  1. A. A and D Only
  2. B. B and E Only
  3. C. C and E Only
  4. D. C and D Only

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 (NH_2-CH_2-COOH) has no chiral center (α-carbon has two H atoms) - True E. Cysteine side chain is -CH_2-SH (thiol). MeS-CH_2-CH_2- is the side chain of Methionine, not Cysteine - False Correct statements: A and D only
