b. Draw a box around the disulfide bridge in oxytocin, if present, or write "none".
7. Mark each peptide bond in oxytocin by making the corresponding line in the structure thicker or
marking it with a different color. The first one is shown for you as an example (in dark orange).
8.
Number the central carbon of each amino acid in oxytocin by pointing a small arrow to it or by
circling the corresponding vertex in the image. Numbers 1 and 2 indicate the central carbons of the
first and second amino acids of oxytocin, and are shown for you as an example.
9. Fill out the following table, listing amino acids that make up oxytocin in order, from the N terminus
to the C terminus, characterizing each amino acid by the properties of its R group (side chains), and
briefly indicating the reasoning for the characterization. You may consult amino acid groupings by
category in the slides (or the textbook, p.49), but you must explain the reasoning for each in your own
words.
