Question
Amino acid analysis of a decapeptide gave the following residues:
Ala (2), Gly, Leu, Lys (2), Met, Phe, Trp, Val
Subjecting the decapeptide to various chemical/ enzymatic hydrolysis yields the following fragments:
Cyanogen bromide: Leu-Ala-Met and a heptapeptide
Trypsin: Phe-Ala-Lys and a heptapeptide
Chymotrypsin: Gly-Val-Lys-Phe, Ala-Lys, Leu, and a tripeptide
• Thermolysin: Phe-Ala-Lys, Leu-Ala-Met, and two dipeptides
.
Note that the intact decapeptide was used in each treatment.
