(a)
Interpretation:
The peptides obtained from the cleavage of given peptide chain by carboxypeptidase A has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Amino acids are linked each other by peptide bonds is called protein (one or more peptide bonds). Peptide bonds are amide bonds, in which carbonyl group of one amino acid bonded to amino group of other amino acid. The chain of the protein is drawn in such a way that left end is occupied by free amino group (say N-terminal) and right side of the chain is occupied by carbonyl group (say C-terminal).
Exopeptidases cleave peptide bonds that are not at the end.
Carboxypeptidase A is an exopeptidase, which cleave the peptide bond of C-terminal amino acid except arginine and lysine.

Explain why the dansyl chloride treatment of a single polypeptide chain followed by its complete acid hydrolysis yields several dansylated amino acids.arrow_forwardBradykinin is a linear nonapeptide released by blood plasma globulin in response to a wasp sting. It is a very potent pain-causing agent. Its constituent amino acids are 2R, G, 2F, 3P, S. The sue of 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene and carboxypeptidase shows that both terminal residues are arginine. Partial hydrolysis of bradykinin gives the following di- and tripeptides: FS + PGF +PP + SPF + FR + RParrow_forward

A dialysis membrane tube holds a 2.5 ml. sample of the protein solution. The sample tube floats in a beaker containing 1.75 L of the same Hepes buffer, but with 0 mM NaCl, for dialysis. Small molecules and ions (such as Na*, CI, and Hepes) can to diffuse across the dialysis membrane, but the protein cannot. Assume there are no sample volume changes during the dialysis.

O Fmoc groups are selectively removed using piperidine, whereas Boc and t-butyl esters are both deprotected non-selectively with TFA. Boc groups can be removed under more mild conditions than Fmoc groups, leading to less degradation of the amino acid or peptide. Fmoc groups are selectively removed using TFA, whereas Boc and t-butyl esters are both deprotected non-selectively with piperidine.arrow_forward
- Another strategy used to resolve amino acids involves converting the carboxy group to an ester and then using a chiral carboxylic acid to carry out an acid–base reaction at the free amino group. Using a racemic mixture of alanine enantiomers and (R)-mandelic acid as resolving agent, write out the steps showing how a resolution process would occur.arrow_forwardAnother method to form a peptide bond involves a two-step process:[1] Conversion of a Boc-protected amino acid to a p-nitrophenyl ester.[2] Reaction of the p-nitrophenyl ester with an amino acid ester.a.
