Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which group does contain only an amino acid?
A
Benzene, Phenylalanine & Lysine
B
Glycine, Formalin & Proline
C
Proline, Hisidine & Serine
D
Hydroxy Benzene, Cysteine & Valine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Proline contains a secondary amine group, called an imine, instead of a primary amine group. For this reason, proline is called an imino acid.

Detailed explanation-2: -Histidine is one of the least abundant amino acids in whole body protein in humans.

Detailed explanation-3: -Histidine, an essential amino acid, has as a positively charged imidazole functional group. The imidazole makes it a common participant in enzyme catalyzed reactions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proline and its metabolite (hydroxyproline) are unique amino acids (AA) both chemically and biochemically (Hu et al. 2008; Kaul et al. 2008). They constitute one-third of AA in the collagen proteins which comprise approximately 30% of body proteins.
