Chapter 21, Problem 9CLE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A brief description of the relationship between amide, peptide linkage, the amino acid is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The hydrogen atom/atoms from the carbon chain can be replaced by atoms/group of atoms called a functional group. The presence of functional group gives characteristics properties to the compound. The chemical properties of the compounds containing the same functional group regardless the carbon chain length. The amide functional group is represented as follows:
