Interpretation:
All the tripeptides containing methionine, isoleucine and lysine should be named using the three letter abbreviations.
Concept introduction:
Amino acids are the molecules containing an
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are the key elements in amino acid.
General structure of an amino acid can be drawn as follows,
Some amino acids and their three letter codes are listed below,
Peptide is a short
Peptide bonds are formed by a condensation reaction of carboxylic group of an amino acid and amino group of another amino acid with the removal of water molecule.
