Short answer

The answer is,

Reaction

Step-by-step solution

Tetrapeptide

The peptides are the R-CONH-R’ bond and are formed between the amino acid compounds. The peptide chains containing three peptide bonds are called tetrapeptides. The peptide chains always contain peptide bonds a number less than the number of the amino acids used.

Explanation

The reaction for the synthesis of tetrapeptide is as given below.
