Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of the possible dipeptides that can be formed by combining leucine and asparagines should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
An
(b)
Interpretation:
The N- and C- terminal amino acids should be labeled in each amino acids.
Concept Introduction:
An amine or peptide bond is a chemical bond. It is formed when amino groups of one molecule is reacts with carboxylic group of other molecule. Derivation of two amino acids is known as dipeptide.
(c)
Interpretation:
Each peptide should be named using three-letter abbreviations.
