Proteins are naturally occurring polymers formed by condensationreactions of amino acids, which have the generalstructureIn this structure, ¬R represents ¬H, ¬CH3, or anothergroup of atoms; there are 20 different natural amino acids,and each has one of 20 different R groups. (a) Draw the generalstructure of a protein formed by condensation polymerizationof the generic amino acid shown here. (b) When only afew amino acids react to make a chain, the product is called a“peptide” rather than a protein; only when there are 50 aminoacids or more in the chain would the molecule be called a protein.For three amino acids (distinguished by having three differentR groups, R1, R2, and R3), draw the peptide that resultsfrom their condensation reactions. (c) The order in which theR groups exist in a peptide or protein has a huge influence onits biological activity. To distinguish different peptides andproteins, chemists call the first amino acid the one at the “Nterminus” and the last one the one at…

d) Provide the structure for the chain end group X that would result from chain termination through the following termination mechanism: • Disproportionation: Structure of X = • Chain end radical recombination: Structure of X = • Hydrogen abstraction: Structure of X = d) Early in the polymerization at lower conversion of the MVK monomer, the polymer chains formed are primarily linear. However, close to the end of the reaction, as most of the monomer is consumed, branched polymers may start to appear. Propose a possible rationale for the formation of branched polymer structures (hint: consider the types of termination reactions that may compete with polymerization when only little monomer is still present). 32 linear vs. branched
