Answer to Question #274263 in Inorganic Chemistry for Gigi

Question

Show the mechanism of formation of tripeptide

Answer 1

tripeptide is a peptide derived from three amino acids joined by two or sometimes three peptide bonds.[1] As for proteins, the function of peptides is determined by the constituent amino acids and their sequence. The simplest tripeptide is glycylglycylglycine. In terms of scientific investigations, the dominant tripeptide is glutathione (γ-L-Glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine), which serves many roles in many forms of life.
