Interpretation:
The name of a chain of eight amino acids should be determined along with the chain of 200 amino acids.
Concept introduction:
Proteins are
They polymerise by peptide linkage to form dipeptide, oligopeptide and polypeptide molecules.
Answer to Problem 33A
The name of a chain of eight amino acids is known as octa-peptide.
The chain of 200 amino acids is known as protein.
Explanation of Solution
Each peptide bond formation is a condensation reaction that occurs with the elimination of water molecule. The amino acids are bonded together by peptide bond.
A chain of eight amino acids:
According to the rules of naming, eight denotes base name “octa”. Thus, name of compound is octa-peptide.
A chain of 200 amino acids:
The chain of 200 amino acids results in the formation of protein. Protein is a complex molecule where amino acids are bonded in a possible order or sequence.
