Interpretation:
Two amino acids have to be chosen and the dipeptide formed from the chosen amino acids has to be drawn. The formed dipeptide is whether polar, nonpolar or mixed has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Amino acids are the molecules containing an
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are the key elements in amino acid.
General structure of an amino acid can be drawn as follows,
Peptide is a short
Peptide bonds are formed by a condensation reaction of carboxylic group of an amino acid and amino group of another amino acid with the removal of water molecule.
