Concept explainers
(a) Interpretation:
By considering the chemical modification, whether it would result in an overall charge on the peptide at pH=7 should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The short amino acid chains linked together with peptide bonds are known as peptides. Here, the bond is formed between carboxyl group of one amino acid and
(b) Interpretation:
By considering the chemical modification, it is to be identified whether the pl of modified peptide is higher or lower than that of the untreated peptide.
Concept Introduction:
The short amino acid chains linked together with peptide bonds are known as peptides. Here, the bond is formed between carboxyl group of one amino acid and amine group of another amino acid.
