Molecular Formula- C9H11NO2

(a)

It is also known as F or endorphenyl, it belongs to a class of phenylalanine & derivatives. Phenylalanine & it's derivatives are compounds containing phenylalanine or a derivative there of it resulting from reaction of phenylalanine at the amino group or carboxy group, or from the replacement of any Hydrogen of the glycine by a heteroatom.

Molecular formula- C6H10CIN3O2

(b) It is an alpha amino acid. It consists alpha amino group, a carboxylic acid group and an imidazole side chain, it is classifying as a positively charged amino acid at physiological pH.

(c)Molecular formula- C3H7NO3

D-serine is a selective full agonist with the glycine site of N-methyl-D-aspertate type glutamate receptor.It is a non-essential amino acid and dextro isomer serine with antipsychotic activity.

Molecular formula- C11H12N2O2

(d) It is also known as Trp or W , belongs to the class of organic compounds and it known as Indolyl carboxylic acids. Compounds containing a carboxylic acid chain with atleast 2 carbon atoms & linked to an indole ring.
