Step-by-step solution

Peptides

Amino acid binds together by amide bonds. Large molecules are formed called peptides. Peptides are used as dietary supplements, stimulate the skin, and provide proteins required for the skin.

Abbreviations

a. The names of these peptides are R-N-V and Arg-Asn-Val.

Structure of Arg-Asn-Val/R-N-V

b. The names of these peptides are K-H-Q and Lys-His-Gln.

Structure of Lys-His-Glu/K-H-Q
