A series of tripeptides (made from one asparagine molecule, one cysteine molecule and one glutamic acid molecule) were synthesised. Hand-draw the skeletal structures of two possible tripeptides formed from these three amino acids, identifying the peptide bonds in each molecule. Include the two tripeptide structures b. Compound 2 has been proposed as a potential dietary supplement. HO. i. ii. iii. HO. O NH₂ Write down the molecular formula of 2. Hand-draw a Lew dot and cross gram of 2. On your diagram, label the atom that is the most likely to act as an electrophile, and the atom that is most likely to act as a nucleophile in a condensation reaction. A student proposes that when 2 reacts with CH3 CL, the first step of the reaction mechanism is: 2 NH₂ + CH3Cl HO. O H₂ + CIT Hand-draw the curly arrow mechanism for this step and account for any atomic charges in the products. Include an image of curly arrow mechanism
Neutral Amino Acids
Amino acids which do not have any charge on them are neutral amino acids.
Globular Protein
The globular proteins refer to the shape of protein specifically spherical in nature apart from spherical form fibrous, disordered and membrane-bound proteins exist. These globular proteins are miscible in water and form a colloidal solution rather than other types which might not exhibit solubility. Many classes of the fold are found in globular proteins, which render them a sphere shape. Globular fold containing proteins usually are referred to by the term globin.
Dimer
Dimers are basic organic compounds, which are derivates of oligomers. It is formed by the combination of two monomers which could potentially be strong or weak and in most cases covalent or intermolecular in nature. Identical monomers are called homodimer, the non-identical dimers are called heterodimer. The method by which dimers are formed is known as “dimerization”.
Dipeptide
A dipeptide is considered a mixture of two distinct amino acids. Since the amino acids are distinct, based on their composition, two dipeptide's isomers can be produced. Various dipeptides are biologically essential and are therefore crucial to industry.
