Leucine

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Amino acids are classified based on the nature of their '$R$' group.$1$. Leucine has an isobutyl group as its '$R$' group,which is hydrophobic and non-polar.$2$. Asparagine contains an amide group,which is polar.$3$. Glycine has a hydrogen atom as its '$R$' group. While it is technically non-polar,Leucine is the classic example of a non-polar,hydrophobic amino acid with a significant hydrocarbon side chain.$4$. Aspartic acid contains a carboxylic acid group,which is polar and acidic.Therefore,Leucine is the most appropriate answer for an amino acid with a non-polar '$R$' group.
