Which functional groups are involved in the formation of a dipeptide, such as glycylalanine?
Options
- ACarboxyl group of glycine and amino group of alanine
- BCarboxyl group of alanine and amino group of glycine
- CHydroxyl group of glycine and carboxyl group of alanine
- DAmino group of glycine and carboxyl group of alanine
Correct answer
A. Carboxyl group of glycine and amino group of alanine
Step-by-step solution
Glycylalanine is formed when the carboxyl group of glycine combines with the amino group of alanine.
