Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Structural formula of bradykinin is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Many amino acids are linked together through amide bonds to form a biologically large molecule known to be proteins.
In protein the amide bond can link together with two amino acids to form a peptide bond.
Primary structure of protein is a sequence in which the amino acids linked by peptide bond in a protein.
Bradykinin is a 9-amino acid peptide chain. The Sequence is
(b)
Interpretation:
Reason for the kinked secondary structure of bradykinin is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Many amino acids are linked together through amide bonds to form a biologically large molecule known to be proteins.
Amino functional group is
In protein the amide bond can link together with two amino acids to form a peptide bond.
Primary structure of protein is a sequence in which the amino acids linked by peptide bond in a protein.
Bradykinin is a 9-amino acid peptide chain. The Sequence is
