Chapter 21, Problem 21.48P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of two possible dipeptides that can be formed by the combination of glycine and asparagine amino acids should be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Proteins are biomolecules that are composed of certain monomer units such as amino acids. These are carboxylic acids with one amino group bonded on the alpha-C atom of the molecule.

These amino acids involve in condensation process to form peptides and polypeptides which further form complex protein molecules.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The N and C-terminal amino acids in the dipeptides that can be formed by the combination of glycine and asparagine amino acids should be labeled.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The name of the dipeptides that can be formed by the combination of glycine and asparagine amino acids, using three letters symbol should be determined.
