Question

Match the following types of amino acids with their examples:

• A. Valine
• B. Glutamate
• C. Lysine
• D. Tyrosine

Answer 1

Based on the number of amino and carboxylic groups, amino acids are classified into - acidic (e.g., aspartic acid and glutamic acid), basic (e.g., histidine and lysine), neutral (e.g., valine). Again, amino acids can also be classified as aromatic (e.g., tryptophan and tyrosine) amino acids based on the presence of aromatic rings.
