    This document provides a chemistry question about amino acids and peptide (amide) links. It asks the reader to (1) draw the zwitterion structure of phenylalanine, (2) draw the structure of serine at high pH, and (3) draw the structures of the two dipeptides formed from phenylalanine and serine, showing all atoms and bonds in the amide link. It also asks the reader to (4) name the mechanism for the reaction of an acyl chloride with a primary amine using CH3CH2COCl and CH3CH2NH2 as an example, and provide the IUPAC name of the organic product.
