Explanation:
The primary structure of proteins
Drawing the amino acids
In chemistry, if you were to draw the structure of a general 2-amino acid, you would probably draw it like this:
However, for drawing the structures of proteins, we usually twist it so that the "R" group sticks out at the side. It is much easier to see what is happening if you do that.
That means that the two simplest amino acids, glycine and alanine, would be shown as:
Peptides and polypeptides
Glycine and alanine can combine together with the elimination of a molecule of water to produce a dipeptide. It is possible for this to happen in one of two different ways - so you might get two different dipeptides.
