Determine the primary structure of an octapeptide from the following data: Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis gives 2 Arg, Leu, Lys, Met, Phe, Ser, and Tyr. Carboxypeptidase A releases Ser. Edman’s reagent releases Leu. Treatment with cyanogen bromide forms two peptides with the following amino acid compositions: 1. Arg, Phe, Ser 2. Arg, Leu, Lys, Met, Tyr Trypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis forms the following two amino acids and two peptides: 1. Arg 2. Ser 3. Arg, Met, Phe 4. Leu, Lys, Tyr
An octapeptide contains the following amino acids: Arg, Glu, His, Ile, Leu, Phe, Tyr, and Val. Carboxypeptidase treatment of the octapeptide forms Phe and a heptapeptide. Treatment of the octapeptide with chymotrypsin forms two tetrapeptides, A and B. Treatment of A with trypsin yields two dipeptides, C and D. Edman degradation cleaves the following amino acids from each peptide: Glu (octapeptide), Glu (A), Ile (B), Glu (C), and Val (D). Partial hydrolysis of tetrapeptide B forms Ile–Leu in addition to other products. Deduce the structure of the octapeptide and fragments A–D.
In a variation of the Merrifield solid-phase peptide synthesis, the amino group is protected by a fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (FMOC) group. This protecting group is removed by treatment with a weak base such as the secondary amine piperidine. Write a balanced equation and propose a mechanism for this deprotection.
