Textbook Question
Chapter 3.8, Problem FQ
As stated, proteins are stereochemically pure because only a single enantiomer of each amino acid building block is used by nature. How many stereoisomers are possible for a chain of only 3 chiral amino acids if both enantiomers of the amino adds are used?

5.
Arg and Lys
Asp and Lys
Pro and Glu
Among these amino acid combinations listed above, only the combination of Asp and Lys have side chains with groups that have the greatest ability to stabilize the tertiary structure of a protein.
Explain in your own words and by drawing (1) why Asp and Lys side chain interaction stabilizes the tertiary structure of a protein, and (2) why the pairs of Arg and Lys & Pro and Glu cannot provide the stability to the protein structure.
This unit is N-acetylneuraminic acid, the most abundant member of a family of amino sugars containing nine or more carbons and distributed widely throughout the animal kingdom. Draw the open-chain form of this amino sugar. Do not be concerned with the configuration of the five chiral centers in the open-chain form.
