### Peptide Analysis in South American Rainforest Research
**Context:**
In this scenario, researchers are exploring naturally occurring peptides from tropical orchids in a South American rainforest, aiming to identify those with antiviral potential.
**Available Tools:**
- Mobile biochemistry lab
- Common reagents and enzymes
- Amino-acid analyzer
- Gel-filtration and ion-exchange chromatography
- Electrophoresis
- Edman Sequenator (limited by contaminants)
**Objective:**
Determine the amino acid sequence of a discovered peptide using available techniques.
