Which the following statements about Histidine are true?
The shape around the N of the NH2 group (N1) is trigonal planar.
There are 6 pi bonds in Histidine.The C-C-O bond angle around the C-O double bond (C2-C9-O11 angle) is greater than 120o.
The shape around the carbon of the C-O double bond (C9) is trigonal planar
.There are 4 sp2 hybridized carbon atoms in Histidine.
The N-H bond in the ring of atoms (N6-H18) is lying in the same plane as the ring, therefore this must be an sp3 hybridized N.
There are 19 sigma bonds in Histidine.
