Problem 9: Identification of a hydrophobic amino acid



Correct!

Which amino acid has a hydrophobic side chain?





A. Isoleucine Chemical Structure of Isoleucine (C6H13NO2) Isoleucine is one of the most hydrophobic amino acids because the R-group is a bulky substituent lacking any hydrophilic character.
B. Asparagine

Chemical structure of asparagine (C4H8N2O3)
C. Threonine

Chemical structure for threonine (C4H9NO3)
D. Glycine chemical structure for glycine (C2H5NO2)
E. Glutamic acid
