And also another possibility would be for one of the COOH groups in the R section to form an amide bond and a COOH that was not in the R group to form the second amide bond, but that would truly be a horrific molecule

For 3C I think there is another way of making the compound with an MR of 258.
Correct me if I'm wrong but presumably you can make an amide bond from the NH2 group and the COOH group found in the R group of glutamic acid to form a ring with 8 carbons and 2 nitrogens,

3c is so difficult
only for 2 marks :L
