Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To sketch the zwitterion form of alpha-amino acetic acid (also known as glycine), follow these steps: ### Step 1: Draw the Structure of Alpha-Amino Acetic Acid 1. Start with the alpha carbon (Cα) in the center. 2. Attach an amino group (-NH2) to one side of the alpha carbon. 3. Attach a carboxyl group (-COOH) to the other side of the alpha carbon. 4. Attach two hydrogen atoms (H) to the alpha carbon. ...

    Which reaction is used for the preparation of alpha -Bromoacetic acid from acetic acid ?

    The alpha - Haloester (A) needed in the following preparation of alpha - amino acid is :

    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 ?
