Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The dipeptide should be identified from the given molecular structure.
Concept Introduction:
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.
Dipeptides: Amino acids are joined together when a dehydration removes a hydroxyl group from the carboxyl end of one amino acid and a hydrogen from the amino group another, the resulting covalent bond is called a peptide bond. The larger compounds produced by the dehydration synthesis or condensation of two amino acids.
