Draw the tripeptide RDF. Draw the structure that would exist at physiological pH.  For the peptide bond between R and D, identify in your drawing all the atoms that are co-planar by coloring them in red.  All atoms for every amino acid must be explicitly drawn.  

Expert Solution
Step 1
  • Amino acid:- It maybe defined as the compounds which contain an amino(-NH2) group, a carboxyl (-COOH) group and a side chain (-R) which varies for every amino acid.
  • Tripeptide:- Peptide means bond between carbonyl carbon (-C=O) and the amino (-NH) group.

         that is(i.e.),    Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1 is a peptide bond.

  • And three amino acids combines to form a tripeptide.
  • Physiological pH:- It is the pH where net charge becomes zero by making balance between acid and base.
  • R is Arginine, D is Aspartic acid and F is Phenylalanine.
