A fragment of a protein commonly found in food was sequenced and found to have the sequence: RDCEHKY Draw the structure, showing the form expected to be dominant at a physiological pH (7.4). Discuss how changing the pH will affect the fragment, and what implications this has on the overall structure of the protein. What is the difference between the sequence above and the sequence YKHECDR?
