Concept explainers
Interpretation :
A diagram must be drawn to show how glycine and alanine combine to form a peptide bond.
Concept Introduction :
Glycine and alanine are two alpha amino acids which can combine by reacting with
Answer to Problem 3E
The diagram for peptide bond formation between glycine and alanine is shown below.
Explanation of Solution
In the diagram, peptide bond is shown in red. The OH of carboxylic acid group of glycine and H of NH2 group of alanine is removed as water for peptide bond formation. The peptide bond is basically an amide bond formed by the reaction of COOH and NH2 group as shown in the diagram.
