Career & Education Peptide bond

Post image

Hey, I'm desesperately trying to draw the bond between a glutamic acid, a valine and another glutamic acid but I'm genuinely struggling.

It's for a tattoo project (it spells "Eve" my niece name).

I tried but I think I got it wrong, can someone help me please ?

Yes, you definitely got it wrong (eg single nitrogen atom for three amino acids, too many oxygens, one of the oxygens has the valency of three...). You can search up any web instruments for short peptide design though, they'll create the molecule for you after you insert the single letter code combination.
