Treatment of a new protein with dansyl chloride reveals two (2) dansyl-labelled derivatives of amino acids, alanine and methionine. What can you deduce about the structure of the proteinfrom these results?
4b) Canavanine is closely related to arginine, and like arginine its side group has a +1 charge when protonated. If you dissolved canavanine in an aqueous solution at pH 10, what would the net charge on a molecule of canavanine be? Please show your work or make it clear how you determined the charge contribution from each ionizable group.
A chemist attempted the following synthesis but obtained only a very low yield of the desired product. What went wrong? 1) DCCD HO,C "CO,H HO,C `N' 2) Н,N CO,H `N' HN, mCO,H t-BOC t-BOC C,H5 C,H, DCCD can activate both carboxylic acid groups, so that both will react with the amino acid added in the second step. O The t-BOC group is not stable to the reaction conditions. O The second amino acid has to be added before the DCCD is added. O DCCD is the incorrect reagent for effecting peptide bond formation.
