Identify the correct statement among the following :

  1. All naturally occurring amino acids except glycine contain one chiral centre.
  2. Amino acid, cysteine can easily undergo dimerisation due to the presence of free SH group.
  3. Glutamic acid is the only amino acid that contains a –COOH group at the side chain.
  4. All naturally occurring amino acids are optically active.

Answer

(2) Amino acid, cysteine can easily undergo dimerisation due to the presence of free SH group.

Solution

(1) Incorrect: isoleucine and threonine contain two chiral centres.

(2) Correct: the free –SH groups of two cysteine molecules are easily oxidised to a disulphide (–S–S–) link, giving the dimer cystine.

(3) Incorrect: aspartic acid also has a –COOH group in its side chain.

(4) Incorrect: glycine (H2N-CH2-COOH) has no chiral carbon and is optically inactive.

Answer: (2)
