Concept explainers
Interpretation: The structures of the given tripeptides are to be drawn. The number of tripeptides possible using the given three amino acids are to be stated.
Concept introduction: When two or more amino acids are linked in a chain, a compound called peptide is formed in which the carboxyl group of each acid is joined to the amino group of the next forming a
To determine: The structure of the given tripeptide.

- What functional groups are found in all amino acids? How many different amino acids are found in naturally occurring proteins?arrow_forward(a) How many tripeptides can be made from glycine, alanine, and leucine, using each amino acid only once per tripeptide? (b) Write the structural formulas of these tripeptides and name them in the shorthand abbreviation used for showing amino acid sequences.arrow_forwarda. Use bond energies (see Table 3-3) to estimate H for the reaction of two molecules of glycine to form a peptide linkage. b. Would you predict S to favor the formation of peptide linkages between two molecules of glycine? c. Would you predict the formation of proteins to be a spontaneous process?arrow_forward
