The peptide given above is made up of the following amino acids: glycine [G], leucine [L], valine [V], isoleucine [I] and tryptophan [W]. These amino acids are joined together by amide bond to form peptide. Peptides usually have two terminals, the N terminal and the C terminal. For GLVIW, the C terminal end amino acid is tryptophan, that is the last amino acid on the peptide chain. The N terminal amino acid is glycine, that is, the first amino acid on the peptide chain.
