Write the structure of all possible peptides containing these amino acids: Asp, Glu, Gln Use single letter abbreviations and capital letters only; i.e. GYR, not Gly-Tyr-Arg. If there are fewer than 6 peptides, leave an appropriate number of answer boxes empty. fill in the blank 1 , fill in the blank 2 , fill in the blank 3 , fill in the blank 4 , fill in the blank 5 , fill in the blank 6

Answer:

QED, EDQ, DQE, EQD, DEQ, QDE

Step-by-step explanation:

The structure of all possible peptides that contain the given amino acids are :

QED, EDQ, DQE, EQD, DEQ, QDE

where : Asp is represented by the letter code D

Glu is represented by the letter code E

Gln is represented by the letter code Q

Note : when three amino acids combine they form what is known as tripeptide ( i.e. contains two peptide linkages ) while a peptide linkage is been formed by the combination of a carboxyl group of an amino acid and the amino group of different amino acid
