The correct Answer is:
To determine which amino acids contain elementary sulfur, we will analyze the given options systematically. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Amino Acids**: The question provides four options, each containing different amino acids. We need to check each amino acid for the presence of sulfur. 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option A**: Valine, Lysine, Cysteine - **Valine**: Structure - CH(CH3)2. No sulfur present. - **Lysine**: Structure - (CH2)4NH2. No sulfur present. - **Cysteine**: Structure - CH2SH. Contains sulfur (SH group). - Conclusion: Contains one amino acid with sulfur (Cysteine). - **Option B**: Tryptophan, Glutamic Acid, Aspartic Acid - **Tryptophan**: Structure - C11H12N2O2. No sulfur present. - **Glutamic Acid**: Structure - CH2CH2(COOH)2. No sulfur present. - **Aspartic Acid**: Structure - CH2(COOH)2. No sulfur present. - Conclusion: No amino acids with sulfur. - **Option C**: Citrulline, Methionine, Glutamic Acid - **Citrulline**: Structure - C6H13N3O3. No sulfur present. - **Methionine**: Structure - CH2CH2(CH3)S. Contains sulfur (thioether group). - **Glutamic Acid**: Already analyzed, no sulfur present. - Conclusion: Contains one amino acid with sulfur (Methionine). - **Option D**: Homocysteine, Cysteine, Methionine - **Homocysteine**: Structure - CH2CH2SH. Contains sulfur. - **Cysteine**: Already analyzed, contains sulfur. - **Methionine**: Already analyzed, contains sulfur. - Conclusion: All three amino acids contain sulfur. 3. **Final Conclusion**: The option that contains amino acids with elementary sulfur is **Option D: Homocysteine, Cysteine, and Methionine**. ### Answer: **Option D: Homocysteine, Cysteine, and Methionine** contains elementary sulfur.
