Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Need to comprehend the amino acids in N-terminus in the given sequence of decapeptide.

Concept Introduction:

Proteins are biomolecules which are composed of amino acids. Here amino acids are the monomer organic molecules which are composed of two main functional groups; -NH2 and −COOH group. Since −NH2 is a basic group and exist as −NH3+ and −COOH is an acidic group exist as −COO- therefore overall the amino acid molecules are neutral. If any other functional group is present in the side chain of the amino acid, that will determine the acidic and basic nature as well as polarity of molecule.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Need to comprehend the amino acids in C-terminus in the given sequence of decapeptide.

Concept Introduction:

Proteins are biomolecules which are composed of amino acids. Here amino acids are the monomer organic molecules which are composed of two main functional groups; -NH2 and −COOH group. Since −NH2 is a basic group and exist as −NH3+ and −COOH is an acidic group exist as −COO- therefore overall the amino acid molecules are neutral. If any other functional group is present in the side chain of the amino acid, that will determine the acidic and basic nature as well as polarity of molecule.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Need to comprehend the non-polar amino acids in the given sequence of decapeptide.

Concept Introduction:

Proteins are biomolecules which are composed of amino acids. Here amino acids are the monomer organic molecules which are composed of two main functional groups; -NH2 and −COOH group. Since −NH2 is a basic group and exist as −NH3+ and −COOH is an acidic group exist as −COO- therefore overall the amino acid molecules are neutral. If any other functional group is present in the side chain of the amino acid, that will determine the acidic and basic nature as well as polarity of molecule.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The condensed structural formulas at physiological pH for the acidic and basic amino acids in GnRF should be drawn.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

The condensed structural formulas for the primary structure of the first three amino acids that are starting from the N-terminus of GnRF at physiological pH should be drawn.
