Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: For the tripeptide,
Concept introduction: The amino acid that has one
(b)
Interpretation: For the tripeptide,
Concept introduction: The amino acid that has one amine group, one carboxyl group and nonpolar side chain is called non-polar amino acid. The non-polar amino acid is not soluble in water. Thus, it is hydrophobic in nature.
(c)
Interpretation: For the tripeptide,
Concept introduction: The amino acid that has one amine group, one carboxyl group and nonpolar side chain is called non-polar amino acid. The non-polar amino acid is not soluble in water. Thus, it is hydrophobic in nature.
(d)
Interpretation: For the tripeptide,
Concept introduction: The amino acids in a peptide chain are linked together by a peptide bond. The peptide bond is an amide linkage.
