Explain: On electrolysis in acidic solution, glycine migrates towards cathode while in alkaline solution, it migrates towards anode.

(a) Name the type of linkages responsible for the formation of primary and secondary structures of proteins. (b) On electrolysis in acidic solution, alpha -amino acids migrate towards cathose while in alkaline medium, they migrate towards anode. Explain. (c ) What are essential and non-essential amino acids ? Give two examples of each

All proteins are made up of alpha -amino acids which act as the building blocks. alpha -amino acids that are synthesised in the body, are known as non-essential alpha -amino acids while the one which the body fails to synthesise, are called essential alpha -amino acids. All of them exist as dipolar ions also known as Zwitterions. For all the alpha -amino acids, there is a certain pH of the medium known as isoelectric point at which the dipolar ions behave as electrically neutral species. In acidic medium, the ion migrates towards cathos while in basic medium, it migrates towards anode on passing electric current. Which of the following is not an essential alpha -amino acid ?
