Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thiol is a functional group containing a sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom and an alkyl or aryl group. The term "thiol" can be used as a shorthand for the functional group or to refer to a compound that contains the functional group. Choice A matches the format of a compound name and includes the string "TB4941," which is a common identifier for thiol compounds in chemical databases. Answer: C Choice C includes the string "CH" followed by "S" and a number of "U1B" sequences. This matches the format of a peptide sequence, where "CH" represents a cysteine residue (which contains a thiol group) and the "U1B" sequences represent amino acids with various side chains. The presence of multiple "CH₂" sequences suggests that this peptide contains more than one cysteine residue, each of which could potentially form a thiol group.
