Question
Two of these compounds fail to form Ruhemann’s complex and instead yield a yellow salt in the ninhydrin test. In one route to synthesize these compounds, a cyanide ion is added to an imine whose product is then hydrolyzed. A racemic mixture of these compounds was produced by shocking water, methane, hydrogen, and ammonia in an example of their Strecker synthesis. Upon undergoing a condensation, these compounds lose either a C or N-terminus to form residues. Disulfide bridges that form between some of these compounds’ side chains may be disrupted by denaturation. For 10 points, name these monomers of proteins. ■END■
