Select an option to attempt
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
Molecular weight of tripeptide Trp-Gly-His:Individual amino acid molecular weights:• Trp (Tryptophan) = 204.2 Da• Gly (Glycine) = 75.07 Da• His (Histidine) = 155.2 DaWhen two amino acids join via a peptide bond, one water molecule (18 Da) is lost per bond:whereamino acids, so 2 peptide bonds form:Answer: 398.47 Da (Option 3).
