(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The position of ammonia that might have been incorporated in the original peptide is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Amides are formed when amines and acids are condensed. It is accompanied by the loss of water molecule. The C-N bond has restricted rotation because of the partial double bond character. The free amine group located at the end of a polypeptide refers to N-terminal and the end of an amino acid chain which is terminated by a free carboxy group refers to a C-terminus.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The functional groups at the N terminus and at the C terminus are to be explained.
