Chemistry - Biochemistry - Proteins and amino acids - Design a Peptide

Students select 4-5 amino acids and link them into a peptide. Provide a palette of amino acids (show structure of each). Students: 1) Choose a sequence (e.g., Ala-Cys-Glu-Lys-Phe). 2) Draw the peptide bonds connecting them. 3) Identify: N-terminus (free NH₂ end), C-terminus (free COOH end). 4) Predi
