Detailed explanation-1: -A tripeptide is a peptide derived from three amino acids joined by two or sometimes three peptide bonds. As for proteins, the function of peptides is determined by the constituent amino acids and their sequence. The simplest tripeptide is glycine.
Detailed explanation-2: -A peptide bond is a bond between two amino acids, the monomers of proteins, and in a tripeptide (three amino acids) you would have two peptide bonds.
Detailed explanation-3: -Let 3 amino acids be ABC. The acid and amine ends of each molecule can be used to produce a tripeptide. Hence a total of 9 tripeptides are possible.
Detailed explanation-4: -in tripeptide three amino acids are connected by two bonds.
Detailed explanation-5: -Different Forms of Peptide Bond Tripeptide = contains 3 amino acid units. Tetrapeptide = contains 4 amino acid units. Oligopeptide = contains not more than 10 amino acid units. Polypeptide = contains more than 10 amino acid units, up to 100 residues.
