Summary Introduction
To review:
The common symptom of leptin deficiency and Prader–Willi syndrome.

Two melanocyte-stimulating hormones have the following amino acid sequences. Take a highlighter or
colored pencil, and figure out how much of the sequence the porcine MSH has in common with the human
MSH (how much is conserved between the two species).
beta-MSH (human): Ala-Glu-Lys-Lys-Asp-Glu-Gly-Pro-Tyr-Arg-Met-Glu-His-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-Ser-Pro-Pro-Lys-Asp
beta-MSH (porcine): Asp-Glu-Gly-Pro-Tyr-Lys-Met-Glu-His-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-Ser-Pro-Pro-Lys-Asp
One amino acid interrupts the parts you highlighted in each sequence. Which amino acid was it in each and
which category does that amino acid belong to on your amino acid chart?
this to make much difference for the cross-species function of beta-MSH
(why?)?
and
Do you expect
What does the high-energy molecules adenosine triphosphate fforms and reduced forms of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide means?
What fragments can be obtained from the treatment of Pro-Lys-Gly-Gly-Arg-Trp-His-Cys with
trypsin and chymotrypsin simultaneously?
