170715490: I gave some chemical examples of alkenes

Alkenes are [[Hydrocarbons|hydrocarbons]] with a [[Carbon-carbon double bond|carbon-carbon double bond]]. Alkenes have a general formula of CnH2n. They are known as unsaturated, where as alkanes are known as saturated. Examples include ethene (C2H4), propene (C3H6), butene (C4H8) etc.

Glutathione <ref>http://www.chemicalbook.com/ChemicalProductProperty_EN_CB6320803.htm</ref> is a tripeptide. It has many uses such as being an [[Antioxidant|antioxidant]] and as a [[Sulfydryl|sulfydryl]] buffer. It consists of a [[Glutamate|glutamate]] residue, [[Cysteine|cysteine]] residue, and a [[Glycine|glycine]] residue. These are bonded to the central cysteine residue by an [[Isopeptide bond|isopeptide bond]] from the glutamate's [[Carboxylate|carboxylate]] side chain and the central cysteine's [[Amino group|amino group]] <ref>Berg, J. Stryer, L. Tymoczko, J. (2011) Biochemistry, 7th Edition, New York: W.H Freeman and Company. Chapter 24, Page 751</ref>.
