Q4 / 75 · JEE Main 2025 (2 Apr Shift 1) · Chemistry
Identify the correct statement among the following:
- AAll naturally occurring amino acids except glycine contain one chiral centre.
- BAll naturally occurring amino acids are optically active.
- CGlutamic acid is the only amino acid that contains a-COOH group at the side chain.
- Correct answerDAmino acid, cysteine easily undergo dimerization due to the presence of free SH group.
Solution
* Isoleucine has 2 chiral centre
* Glycine is optically inactive
* Aspartic acid also contain COOH group at the side chain.
* Cysteine easily dimmerise due to free SH group
* Glycine is optically inactive
* Aspartic acid also contain COOH group at the side chain.
* Cysteine easily dimmerise due to free SH group
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
