Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of the product formed by hydrolysis of tripeptide Ala-Leu-Gly needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Amino acids are linked together by hydrolysis reaction between carboxylic group of an amino acid and amino group of another amino acid. This result due to the removal of water molecule. If a group of peptide contains three amino acid residues in the molecule then the peptides is called tripeptide.
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of the product formed by hydrolysis of tripeptide Ser-Thr-Phe needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Amino acids are linked together by hydrolysis reaction between carboxylic group of an amino acid and amino group of another amino acid. This result due to the removal of water molecule. If a group of peptide contains three amino acid residues in the molecule then the peptides is called tripeptide.
(c)
Interpretation:
The structure of the product forms by hydrolysis of tripeptide Leu-Tyr-Asn needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Amino acids are linked together by hydrolysis reaction between carboxylic group of an amino acid and amino group of another amino acid. This result due to the removal of water molecule. If a group of peptide contains three amino acid residues in the molecule then the peptides is called tripeptide.
