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?
Radicles interact with the peptide bond of an amino acid
Radicles interact with the R-group of an amino acid
Radicles interact with the amino group of an amino acid
Radicles interact with the peptide bond of a di-peptide
