Explain synthesis concerns racemization of the amino acids

Reference no: EM13534892

One of the major problems in peptide synthesis concerns racemization of the amino acids. If all the stereogenic centers at the a carbons of a polypeptide containing 10 different amino acids (excluding glycine) were racemized during the synthesis, how many stereoisomers would be present?

a. 10
b. 20
c. 100
d. 1024
e. 2048
