a.

b.

Short answer

1. Gly-Asp-Glu and G-D-E.
2. Ala-Gly-Arg and A-G-R.

Step-by-step solution

Amino Acids

Amino acids containan amino group and carboxylate anion in their structure. When they bond together, it results in the formation of proteins.Peptides are formed by connecting amino acids with peptide bonds.

Naming of the peptide using three-letter and one-letter abbreviations

a. The three-letter word for this peptide is Gly-Asp-Glu, and the one-letter word is G-D-E.

Peptide (G-D-E)

b. The three-letter word for this peptide is Ala-Gly-Arg, and the one-letter word is A-G-R.

Peptide (A-G-R)
