Question

According to the text, which amino acid(s) contains a side chain..

a. in which molecules form covalent disulfide bridges with each other?
b. that is hydrophobic?
c. that forms hydrogen bonds?
d. that is basic?

Answer 1

(b) that is hydrophobic

Step-by-step explanation:

e.g, alanine

Cause, Alanine possess hydrophobic side chain and the most appropriate answer is (d) part......

Alanine is an aliphatic amino acid, because the side-chain connected to the α-carbon atom is a methyl group (-CH3), alanine is the simplest α-amino acid after glycine. The methyl side-chain of alanine is non-reactive and is therefore hardly ever directly involved in protein function..

Hope it will help you☺☺☺☺☺
