Chapter 24.3, Problem 24.1CC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To write the structural formulas of all dipeptides formed from Alanine and Threonine.

Concept Introduction:

Amino acids are joined or linked together through peptide bonds to form peptide linkages.  A condensation reaction between carboxyl group of one amino acid with amino group of the second amino acid, results in the formation of peptides. $\text{-CO-NH-}$ bond is known “peptide bond” or “amide bond”.

To Write: The structures of the dipeptides formed from Alanine and Threonine.+
