Question

Match List l with List ll.

List I Natural amino acid	List II One letter code
(I) Glutamic acid	(a) Q
(II) Glutamine	(b) W
(III) Tyrosine	(c) E
(IV) Tryptophan	(d) Y

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
• B. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
• C. A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
• D. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

Hint:

Remember the single-letter codes of amino acids for quick identification. Practice with mnemonics to remember these codes easily

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Single-Letter Codes for Natural Amino Acids :

Reasoning:

1. Glutamic acid : Its single-letter code is E due to its structure and classification as an acidic amino acid.
2. Glutamine : Its single-letter code is Q, as it is a derivative of glutamic acid with an amide group.
3. Tyrosine : Its single-letter code is Y, classified as an aromatic amino acid due to the presence of a phenol group.
4. Tryptophan : Its single-letter code is W, an aromatic amino acid with an indole group.

Matching:

A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II 

Conclusion: The correct answer is option (1).
