Chapter 4: Q29P (page 96)

The bacterially produced antibiotic gramicidin A forms channels in cell membranes that allow the free diffusion of Na+andK+ions, thereby killing the cell. This peptide consists of a sequence ofand-amino acids. The sequence of a segment of five amino acids in gramicidin A isR-Gly-L-Ala-D-Leu-L-Ala-D-Val-R'. Complete the Fischer projection below by adding the correct group to each vertical bond

Short Answer

Expert verified

By adding the Gramicidin A amino acids the Fischer projection is completed.


Step by step solution

01

Definition of Fischer projection

Emil Fischer developed the Fischer projection in chemistry, which is a two-dimensional projection of a three-dimensional organic molecule.

02

Complete the following Fischer projection

The Fischer projection is completed by adding the Gramicidin A amino acids.

Therefore, the complete projection is:
