Answer:

A tripeptide

Explanation:

Alanine (Ala), Glycine (Gly) and Valine (Val) are amino acids, i.e., organic molecules that contain at least an amino (–NH2) and one carboxyl (–COOH) functional group. The amino acids held together by peptide bonds, which are formed by a carboxyl group of one amino acid and an amino group of another one, in order to form a peptide. Thus, a tripeptide is a peptide composed of three amino acids joined by two internal (and sometimes three) peptide bonds. In the case above described, the tripeptide formed by the binding of Glycine, Alanine, and Valine can be abbreviated as Gly-Ala-Val (i.e., in this order).
