Show Answer
Solution:
- PLAN This problem can be solved by performing hydrolysis of peptide and deciding the nature of product. Chemical reaction and product formed after hydrolysis of given peptide can be represented as
(A) is glycine which is only naturally occurring amino acid. While $(B),(C)$ and $(D)$ are not the naturally occurring amino acids. Hence, correct integer is (1).
