Chapter 21, Problem 21.58P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structures of amino acid which are formed by the hydrolysis of a given tripeptide molecule 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. Amino acids are the organic molecules with both ${\text{–NH}}_{\text{2}}$ and $\text{–COOH}$ groups' functional groups bonded on the same C atom of the molecule.
