I had a great time at Elmhurst College. It's really easy to get involved in the different programs and in the end I graduated through the Honors Program, with 3 different honors organizations that I was a part of and with a double major in Music and Computer Science with a minor in Audio Engineering.
In amino acids that have a carbon chain attached to the Î±âcarbon (such as lysine, shown to the right) the carbons are labeled in order as Î±, Î², Î³, Î´, and so on. In some amino acids, the amine group is attached to the Î² or Î³-carbon, and these are therefore referred to as beta or gamma amino acids.
More specifically, peptide bonds join the carboxyl group of one amino acid with the amino group of another. For example, the amino acid called glycine can bond with the amino acid called alanine to form a dipeptide. The prefix 'di' means two, so, a dipeptide is defined as a compound consisting of two amino acids.
