Question:
In the amide group, rotation is restricted about the CON bond, so that the C, N, and O atoms in that group are normally in the same plane. This rigidity is partly responsible for the secondary structure of proteins. The amino acid glycine can form a dipeptide, composed of two glycine monomers.
(a) Draw the Lewis structure of the glycine dipeptide.
(b) Explain how resonance structures can account for the restricted rotation and draw a second resonance structure for the dipeptide.
