Solution

The ends of a protein or polypeptide chain are referred to as the N-terminus and the C-terminus. The N-terminus (or amino-terminus) is the start of the protein (the first amino acid), and the C-terminus (or carboxyl-terminus) is the end of the amino acid chain (the last amino acid).

So, if a protein is imagined as a line, the right end and left end represent the C–terminal and N–terminal amino acid respectively.
