Summary Introduction

To draw:

The structure of the possible dipeptides formed from the combination of one alanine and one cysteine.

Introduction:

Amino acids combine with each other through condensation reaction, and amide bond is formed that is called a peptide bond. Dipeptide can be formed from any two amino acids. Each pair of different amino acids can combine in two ways forming two different dipeptides. Dipeptides are the smallest members of the peptide class.
