Chapter 17.8, Problem 18P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the given tetra peptide should be drawn with indication of peptide bonds.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are linked each other by peptide bonds is called protein (one or more peptide bonds). Peptide bonds are amide bonds, in which carbonyl group of one amino acid bonded to amino group of other amino acid. The chain of the protein is drawn in such a way that left end is occupied by free amino group (say N-terminal) and right side of the chain is occupied by carbonyl group (say C-terminal).
