Chapter 18.10, Problem 18.33P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The fragments obtained and the reason for the formation when given peptide bond undergoes acid hydrolysis has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

• Hydrolysis of protein is the reversal of protein formation. Protein on hydrolysis yields the individual amino acid.
• Acid hydrolysis will leads to the formation of individual amino acids.
• Endoprotease is a trypsin which hydrolyzes at the carbonyl side of lysine and arginine in the peptide chain.
