Chapter 18.5, Problem 18.16P
Tripeptides are composed of three amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Given a set of amino acids, you can make several different tripeptides.
(a) Use the three-letter shorthand notations to name all the tripeptides that can be made from serine, tyrosine, and glycine. Each amino acid will be used once in each tripeptide.
(b) Draw the complete structure of the tripeptides that have glycine as the N-terminal amino acid.
