Question
Chapter 27, Problem 54P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The structures of the amino acids that form gramicidin S is to be drawn and. The reason corresponding to the fact that the given compound possesses two unusual structural features are to be explained.
Concept introduction: Peptide linkage is formed between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of other amino acid with the loss of water molecule. Amino acids are naturally occurring compounds in which the amino group is present on the alpha carbon of carboxyl group. The name of amino acids is represented by the one-letter and three-letter abbreviations.
