Chapter 21, Problem 43P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

[1] The amino acid that form the tripeptide in (a) needs to be determined, [2] The N-terminal and C-terminal amino acids needs to be identified, [3] The peptide using three-letter symbol needs to be named.

Concept Introduction:

A peptide bond is a chemical bond which is formed when carboxylic acid group of one molecule reacts with amino group of other molecule and release ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

[1] The amino acid that form the tripeptide in (b) needs to be determined, [2] The N-terminal and C-terminal amino acids needs to be identified, [3] The peptide using three-letter symbol needs to be named.

Concept Introduction:

A peptide bond is a chemical bond which is formed when carboxylic acid group of one molecule reacts with amino group of other molecule and release ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$.
