Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: For the tripeptide
Concept introduction: A compound possessing three amino acids joined together by two peptide bonds is known as tripeptide. The amino acid naming sequence begins at the N-terminal amino acid residue.
(b)
Interpretation: For the tripeptide
Concept introduction: A compound possessing three amino acids joined together by two peptide bonds is known as tripeptide. The C-terminal amino acid residue is located at the far right of the peptide.
(c)
Interpretation: The number of peptide bonds present in the tripeptide
Concept introduction: A covalent bond that is formed by joining the carboxyl group of one amino acid with the amino group of second amino group is known as peptide bond.
(d)
Interpretation: The number of amide linkages present in the tripeptide
Concept introduction: A covalent bond that is formed by joining the carboxyl group of one amino acid with the amino group of second amino group is known as peptide bond.
