Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Valine has the structure
Like valine, isoleucine possesses a nonpolar side chain, `(CH_(3))_(2) CHCH-`, an isobutyl group. Serine, `H_(2) NCH (CH_(2) OH)` `CO_(2) H`, contains a hydroxyl (alcoholic) group in the side chain. In proline, the `alpha`-amine function is present as a part of the pydrrolidine ring. Tryrosine contains a benzene ring and a phenolic function while glutamic acid contains a carboxy group in the side chain.
