Question

. Give the structure of simplest optically active amino acid.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Give the structure of simplest optically active amino acid. ... Alanine is the most simplest optically active amino acid. Its structure is : Alanine is optically active because it has a chiral centre , necessary for a molecule to show optical activity.

Answer 2

Answer:

Alanine is simplest optically active amino acid

Explanation:

whereas the simplest aminoacid is glycine where R= H

hence due to 2 same groups it is the only optically inactive amino acid

whereas in alanine R= CH₃

i hope that it answers to the point !!!
