Short Answer

Expert verified

1.Gly-Asp-Glu and G-D-E.

2.Ala-Gly-Arg and A-G-R.

Step by step solution

01

Amino Acids

Amino acids containan amino group and carboxylate anion in their structure. When they bond together, it results in the formation of proteins.Peptides are formed by connecting amino acids with peptide bonds.

02
