Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The primary structure of proteins is the sequence of amino acids in a chain, i.e., the positional information in a protein. In the secondary structure protein thread is folded in the form of a helix or in the sheet form. The long protein chain is also folded upon itself like a hollow woollen ball, giving rise to the tertiary structure. This gives us a 3-dimensional view of a protein. Tertiary structure is absolutely necessary for many biological activities of proteins.

An organic compound A(C_(5)H_(8)O_(3)) on heating with soda lime gives B which reacts with HCN to give C. The compound C reacts with thionyl chloride to produce D which on reaction with KCN gives a coompound E. Alkaline hydrolysis of E gives a salt F which on heating with soda lime produces n-butane. Careful oxidation of A with dichromate gives acetic acid and malonic acid. Give the structures from A to F with proper reason.
