Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 3**: On the DIPEPTIDE, label the following: Two central carbons, N-term, C-term, two R groups.
**Diagram Explanation**: The image shows a structural diagram of a dipeptide composed of two amino acids: glycine and alanine.
- **Glycine**: The first section of the dipeptide, labeled as "Glycine," includes the following chemical structure:
- An amine group (N-term) with the nitrogen (N) atom bonded to two hydrogen (H) atoms.
- A central carbon atom (alpha carbon) bonded to two hydrogen (H) atoms.
- A carboxyl group (termination of glycine portion) where the carbon (C) atom is double-bonded to an oxygen (O) atom and single-bonded to another oxygen atom in a hydroxyl group (OH).
- **Alanine**: The second section of the dipeptide, labeled as "Alanine," includes:
- A central carbon atom (alpha carbon) bonded to one hydrogen (H) atom and a methyl group (CH3) which is the R group specific to alanine.
- A terminal carboxyl group (C-term) with the carbon (C) atom double-bonded to an oxygen (O) atom and single-bonded to another oxygen atom in a hydroxyl group (OH).
**Key Labels**:
- **Two Central Carbons**: The central carbons in each amino acid residue; one in glycine and one in alanine.
- **N-term (N-terminus)**: The end of the peptide chain with the free amine group.
- **C-term (C-terminus)**: The end of the peptide chain with the free carboxyl group.
- **Two R Groups**:
- Glycine's R group is a hydrogen (H) atom.
- Alanine's R group is a methyl group (CH3).
