Question

How many different tripeptides can be made from glycine, serine, and glutamic acid? Give the abbreviation for each of these tripeptides, using the three-letter codes and one-letter codes for the amino acids.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Two or more aminoacids  joined together to form a short chain called peptide. Tripeptides are made up of three aminoacids. 

Peptides are formed by the carboxyl group of one amino acid being joined to the amino group of the another amino acid by a bond of the type -OC-NH-. 

Peptide are different from protein due to short bonds.
