Get started for freeConsider two molecules of a tetrapeptide composed of only alanine residues. Draw the hydrogen bonding interactions that result when these two peptides adopt a parallel β-pleated sheet arrangement. Answer this same question for the antiparallel β-pleated sheet arrangement.
Besides asymmetric hydrogenation (Section 29.4), several other methods are now available for the synthesis of optically active amino acids. How might a reaction like the Strecker synthesis be adapted to the preparation of chiral amino acids?
Glutamic acid is synthesized by the following reaction sequence. Draw a stepwise mechanism for Steps [1]–[3].
Write out a stepwise sequence that shows how a racemic mixture of leucine enantiomers can be resolved into optically active amino acids using .
Devise a synthesis of threonine from diethyl acetamidomalonate.
