carboxyl groups

If you have an carboxyl group on opposite end of a molecule results in what type of a compound?

Would it be?:  N-terminal residue, C-terminal residue- Polypeptides?

-COOH would be carboxylic acid

Carboxyl would refer to only -C=O

Should be called aldehyde

-C=O would be a carbonyl not a carboxyl

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
