Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The explanation of structural features of a linker, which make it possible for the polypeptide to be detached from the Wang resin using trifluoroacetic acid, is to be given.

Concept introduction:

In solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), peptides are prepared, residue by residue. The peptide is attached to polymer support at one end. The polymer support is insoluble; the by-products, excess reagents, and solvents are rinsed away in between each synthetic step and the polymer support remains intact.

The polypeptide is finally cleaved from the polymer support and is purified by HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography). The Wang resin is used as polymer support for the batch synthesis of peptide acids following the Fmoc- or tert-Bu-protection. It is cleaved by TFA.

Deduce the sequence of a pentapeptide that contains the amino acids Ala, Glu, Gly, Ser, and Tyr, from the following experimental data. Edman degradation cleaves Gly from the pentapeptide, and carboxypeptidase forms Ala and a tetrapeptide. Treatment of the pentapeptide with chymotrypsin forms a dipeptide and a tripeptide. Partial hydrolysis forms Gly, Ser, and the tripeptide Tyr–Glu–Ala.
A tripeptide on hydrolysis produced glycine, alanine and leucine.  The structures of these amino acids are shown below.  On reaction with Edman’s reagent, leucine was released as the phenylhydantoin. Treatment of the tripeptide with carboxypeptidase gave glycine. Draw the structure of the tripeptide.
Give the amino acid sequence of each peptide using the fragments obtained by partial hydrolysis of the peptide with acid. a. a tetrapeptide that contains Ala, Gly, His, and Tyr, which is hydrolyzed to the dipeptides His-Tyr, Gly-Ala, and Ala-His b. a pentapeptide that contains Glu, Gly, His, Lys, and Phe, which is hydrolyzed to His-Gly-Glu, Gly-Glu-Phe, and Lys-His
