2. (a) Draw the following sequence of amino acids: GKV. (b) Identify every major component of the peptide chain. (c) Discuss the chemical properties exhibited by this small chain of amino acids. (d) Is the formation of peptide bonds thermodynamically favorable or unfavorable? If this is the case, why does the reverse not occur spontaneously? (e) Does the sequence GKV allow for or promote the formation of: hydrogen bonds? Hydrophobic interactions? Both? If not, add amino acids to the sequence GKV that would. *** You may upload a separate picture to your discussion post with the drawings for this question

Adi S.
1) Draw the chemical structure of a protein (peptide) 3 amino acids long. Substitute "R" for each side chain. Include every atom in your structure. Label on your diagram: the peptide bond, the amino end, and the carboxyl end. 2) Which of the following amino acids has a side chain that includes a potential hydrogen bond donor? a. Leu (L) b. Ser (S) c. Val (V) d. Gly (G) 3) When two RNA molecules anneal to each other, what new interactions or bonds are formed? a. Phosphodiester bonds b. Hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions c. Peptide bonds d. Interactions between bases and amino acids
Sana R.
a. Draw the following pentapeptide: lysine-leucine-aspartate-threonine-phenylalanine. b. Label the amino and carboxyl terminus of your peptide. c. Label each amino acid residue with one and three letter abbreviations. d. Label the alpha carbons. e. Label the bonds around which phi and psi rotational angles occur. f. Which amino acid in this chain is most likely to be phosphorylated? Which amino acid is most likely to be acetylated? Draw the phosphorylated and acetylated forms of these amino acids. g. How does acetylation change the interaction between histone proteins and DNA?
