Question

Hydrolysis of proteins give

• A. $\alpha$-amino acids only
• B. $\beta$ -amino acids only
• C. $\gamma$ -amino acids only
• D. mixture of all i.e. $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ -amino acids

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\alpha$-amino acids only

Answer 2

Proteins are macromolecular polymers of $\alpha$-amino acids bonded by peptide linkage. They on hydrolysis, yield a-amino acids further.
