2) You are studying the tripeptide Lys-Val-Thr. a) Draw the full structure of the tripeptide Lys-Val-Thr at pH 7 and label each of the following in your drawing: i) atoms that are co-planar in one pep de bond ii) one φ (phi) and one ψ (psi) angle b) Could you use the absorbance at 280 nm to determine the concentra on of this tripep de? Briefly explain your answer
Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
