Magazine Chapter 4: Q19P. (page 95)
Some bacteria produce poly-纬-glutamic acid, a polymer in which the amino group of each glutamate residue is condensed with the 纬-carboxylate group of the adjacent residue. Draw the repeating structure of this polymer.
Short Answer
Expert verified
poly-纬-glutamic acid is a biopolymer formed by the repeating units of either L-Glutamic acid, D-Glutamic acid, or both.
Step by step solution
01
Chemical reaction resulting in the formation of poly-γ-glutamic acid:
The peptide bond formation in between the amino group of one glutamic acid with the carboxyl group of the second glutamic acid results in the formation of the poly-纬-glutamic acid.
02
Chemical Structure of poly-γ-glutamic acid
Hence, from this the crystal structure of the poly-纬-glutamic acid was understood.
