Chapter 22, Problem 138RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of the dipolar ionic forms of the amino acids produced by the complete digestion of the given compound, are to be written.

Concept Information:

Amino acids are building blocks of the protein molecules. Two amino acids are linked together by a peptide bond between the carboxyl group and an amide group. All the amino acids exists in dipolar ionic form where carboxyl group carries a negative charge (anion) and amide group carries a positive charge (cation).
