    7 Amino Acids and Polypeptides

    Uploaded by

    Destiny Osunbiyi
    This document provides diagrams of amino acids and polypeptides and asks the reader to identify various parts of amino acids like the amine group, carboxylic acid group, central carbon, hydrogen, and R group. It then asks the reader to circle specific parts of a polypeptide like the R groups, N-terminus, C-terminus, peptide bonds. Finally, it asks the reader to draw the reaction between two amino acids to form a dipeptide and name the reaction.
