Aminoacids, as the name suggests, have both an amino group and a carboxyl group in their structure. In addition, all naturally occurring aminoacids (those which are found in proteins) are called L-aminoacids.From this, can you guess from which compound can the simplest aminoacid be made?

A

Formic acid

B

Methane

C

Phenol

D

Glycine

Proteins have primary structure. If you are given a method to know which amino acid is at either of the two termini (ends) of a protein, can you connect this information to purity or homogeneity of a protein?

Aldehydes and ketones are amphoteric. Thus they can react both as acids and bases. Under acidic conditions, the carbon of the protonated carbonyl group is much more electrophilic, reacting even with weak necleophile. Carbonyl compound gives nucleophilic addition reaction. In this reaction the nucleophilic attack precedes the electrophilic attack. Which of the statements regarding nucleophilic addition to carbonyl compounds "is"//"are" correct?

The priorities for citing principal groups in a carboxylic acid derivative are as follows: acid gt anhydride gt ester gt acid halide gt amide gt cyanide All of these groups have citationpriority over aldehydes and ketones as well as the other functional groups. Name of carboxylic acid derivatives when used as substituent groups are: Which of the following is the correct IUPAC name of the above compound?

Monosaccharides containing an aldehyde group are called aldoses while those containing aketo group are called ketoses. The aldehyde group is always present at C_1 while the keto group is usually present at C_2 . All monosaccharides containing five and six carbon atoms have cyclic structures, furnaose (five membered) and pyranose (six membered). During ring formation, C_1 in aldoses and C_2 in ketoses becomes chiral and hence all these monosaccharides exist in two stereoisomeric forms called the alpha -anomer and the beta -anomer while C_1 and C_2 are called glycosidic or anomeric carbon atoms. In contrast, stereoisomers, which differ in configuration at any other chiral carbon other than the glycosidic carbon are called epimers. Two molecules of the same or different monosaccharides combine together through glycosidic linkage to form disaccharides. All monosaccharides (aldoses and ketoses) and most disaccharides reduce Tollens'reagent and Fehling's solution, undergo mutarotation and form osazones. Which of the following pairs give positive Tollens' test?
