Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure that corresponds to tripeptide
(a)
Explanation of Solution
The simplest amino acid is alanine after glycine because the side chain in alanine is the methyl group
In the structure A, the first amino acid has the side chain
(b)
Interpretation:
The other tripeptides in the given structures are to be identified.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
In the structure B, the first amino acid has methyl group
(c)
Interpretation:
The other tripeptides in the given structures are to be identified.
(c)
Explanation of Solution
In the structure C, the first amino acid has hydrogen atom and it is not replaced by any substituent. So, the first amino acid is glycine
(d)
Interpretation:
The other tripeptides in the given structures are to be identified.
(d)
Explanation of Solution
In the structure D, the first amino acid has a side chain
(e)
Interpretation:
The other tripeptides in the given structures are to be identified.
(e)
Explanation of Solution
In the structure E, first amino acid has isobutyl group
