The connecting peptide, or C-peptide, is a short 31-amino-acid protein that connects insulin's A-chain to its B-chain in the proinsulin molecule. In the insulin synthesis pathway, first preproinsulin is secreted from the beta cells of the pancreas with an A-chain, a C-peptide, a B-chain, and a signal sequence. The signal sequence is cleaved from the N-terminus of the peptide by a signal peptidase, leaving proinsulin. Then the C-peptide is removed, leaving the A-chain and B-chain that constitute the insulin molecule.

In the peptide GLVIW, the C-terminal end is the W (tryptophan) residue. The C-terminal end of a peptide refers to the end that has a free carboxyl group (-COOH), which is the case for the last amino acid in the sequence. Therefore, in this peptide, W is the last amino acid and represents the C-terminus.
Yes they is different, C language are case-sensitive.

A covalent bond between two amino acids is a peptide bond.
C, o, u, e
Two atoms that form a peptide bond are the nitrogen atom from the amino group of one amino acid and the carbon atom from the carboxyl group of another amino acid. These atoms undergo a condensation reaction, resulting in the formation of a covalent bond and the release of a water molecule.
Identifiers are a bit more generic in the context of programming. If you mean, in terms of the C languages (C, C++, C#), the question is the reverse...keywords may NOT be used as identifiers. For example, you cannot use keywords such as "int", "float", "double", etc. as the names of variables or objects.

A beta-peptide is any form of artificial peptide made from beta-amino acids, used in some antibiotics as an attempt to counter resistance.
The cost of a C-peptide test can vary depending on where it is conducted and whether it is covered by health insurance. On average, the cost can range from $40 to $200. It is recommended to check with the specific healthcare provider or lab to get an accurate cost estimate.
