Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The naturally occurring amino acid to which the given amino acid is similar is to be named. The structure of the tetra peptide containing the synthetic amino acid is to be drawn indicating its chiral carbon atoms.
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 naturally occurring amino acid which is similar to the given non-naturally occurring amino acid.
(b)
Interpretation: The naturally occurring amino acid to which the given amino acid is similar is to be named. The structure of the tetra peptide containing the synthetic amino acid is to be drawn indicating its chiral carbon atoms.
