Question
Chapter 2, Problem 1Q
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The volume of aprokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell. The diameter of eukaryotic hepatocytes is 20 µm (micrometer). So, thenumber of bacterial cells that would fit in a liver cell is to be estimated.
Introduction:
Prokaryotes are a heterogeneous group, which have many categories of external appearance, like cylindrical (bacillus), spheroidal (cocci), and coiled (spirilla). It has acell wall, plasma membrane, circular DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule, snd no internal membrane-enclosed organelles.

Two tetrapeptides were isolated from a possum's sweat glands. These peptides were sequenced using Edman degradation and the following 2 sequences were obtained:
Gly-Asp-Ala-Leu
Gly-Asp-Asp-Leu
Can you please help show the titration curve for both of these peptides and calculate the PI?
