Researchers produced a particular type of reactive molecule, known as a radical, that can interact with a protein’s amino acids at a molecular level. Under certain conditions, the radical molecules selectively react to break carbon-carbon bonds within an amino acid, meaning that protein editing can be achieved.

Researchers produced a particular type of reactive molecule, known as a radical, that can interact with a protein's amino acids at a molecular level. Under certain conditions, the radical molecules selectively react to break carbon-carbon bonds within an amino acid, meaning that protein editing can be achieved. Which of the following best predicts the location of where the radicle interacts?

• A Radicles interact with the peptide bond of an amino acid
• B Radicles interact with the R-group of an amino acid
• C Radicles interact with the amino group of an amino acid
• D Radicles interact with the peptide bond of a di-peptide
