Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer-: option (c) methyl is the correct option Explanation-:…
Detailed explanation-2: -8) The amino acid which cannot act as a nucleophile is Alanine (Ala). The measure of how rapidly molecules with lone pairs of electrons can react in nucleophilic substitution reaction is the nucleophilicity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Among all the amino acids, cysteine is drugmakers’ top choice for a covalent target because it’s the most nucleophilic and hence reactive. That means it’s the most eager among the amino acids to share its electrons with an electrophile to make a bond.
