Section 4 (2 points) Very short proteins are referred to as peptides. Shown below is the chemical structure short peptide consisting of 2 amino acids. The side chains (R groups) are indicated as R. Clearly label on this diagram the: a) carboxyl end of the peptide b) amino end of the peptide c) the alpha carbon of each amino acid d) the peptide bond between these amino acids

The two peptides, whose amino acid sequences are shown below, form an anti-parallel two-stranded beta sheet as part of a larger protein structure. Peptide A: (N-term)-Val-Cys-Ile-Tyr-Ala-Thr Peptide B: (N-term)-Phe-Thr-Tyr-Leu-Glu-Ile Which amino acid residue (side chain) in peptide A would be able to make van der Waals bonds with the Thr side chain (shown in bold) in peptide B?
