How do you distiguish for the optically active and in active?

First of all we should know what optically active molecules are "Those molecules which possess asymmetric(chiral) carbon atoms have the ability to rotate the plane polarized light(light of one wavelength having its electrical character vibrating in one direction only) to the left or to the right are known as Optically active molecules" while those molecules not following the former scenario are known as Optically Inactive molecules. All in all molecules having asymmetric carbon atoms are known as optically active molecules for example glucose(rotate plane polarized light to the left) & fructose(rotate plane polarized light to the right) are optically active molecules. While molecules lacking asymmetric carbon atoms are optically inactive molecules for example water is optically inactive. And that's how we can distinguish between these two molecular classifications.


Why anthranilic acid is not a amino acid?

Anthranilic acid is not an amino acid because it lacks an amino group (-NH2) within its molecular structure, which is a defining feature of amino acids. Despite its name containing "acid," anthranilic acid is actually a precursor to various amino acids but is not classified as an amino acid itself.


In transamination the amino group of an amino acid is?

transferred to a keto acid


What would be the amino acid code for GAG?

The amino acid code for the mRNA codon GAG corresponds to the amino acid Glutamic acid (Glu). In the genetic code, GAG is one of the codons that specifies this particular amino acid.


Why is the R group in amino acids?

The R group in an amino acid are what make that amino acid unique.

Write the name of optically inactive amino acid?

Glycine, or aminoethanoic acid is the only amino acid that is not optically active as it does not contain a chiral carbon. C2H5NO2


What is the Name of non optically active amino acids?

Glycine is the only non-optically active naturally occurring amino acid, due to it having no asymmetric centers. You may want to also check on Proline.


What is asymmetrical symmetry?

The synthesis of an optically active compound from an optically inactive compound with or without using an optically active reagent.


What is A mixture of equal amounts of two enantiomers?

its called a racemic mixture and is optically inactive


What is the difference between optical isomer and optically active isomer?

Optical isomers are those which have one or more asymmetric carbon atoms their optical activity means a tendency to rotate the plane of plane polarized light but some of such molecules have an internal symmetry as meso form of Tartaric acid , this is the optical isomer of Tartaric acid but is optically inactive.

What is difference between a racemic mixture and a meso compound?

Both are optically inactive, but for different reasons. A racemic mixture contains chiral molecules that, individually, are optically active. But the mixture contains optically active enantiomers, which essentially cancel out each other's optical activity (one enantiomer rotates light one way, the other rotates it back). A meso compound, however, is optically inactive on its own. It can have chiral centers within its structure, but due to symmetry it will still be optically inactive.
