(a)
To determine: The mechanism for the reaction of the N terminus of the peptide with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene.
Interpretation: The mechanism for the reaction of the N terminus of the peptide with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene is to be determined.
Concept introduction: The process in which a proper series of amino acids is maintained in the peptide chain is known as edmann degradation. this process includes the labelling of terminal amino residue followed by the cleavage of this terminal amino residue from the peptide chain. the peptide bonds between other amino acids do not get disturb during this process.
(b)
To determine: The reason that the Edman degradation is usually preferred over the Sanger method.

- I'm having trouble with converting lewis diagrams into VSEPR diagrams. I currently have this example of C2BrCl3 which I want to turn into a lewis structure, but I'm not sure what steps I need to do in order to do so. I have the table written down, however, there's two central atoms so what would I do? There seems to be 4 electron domains on the carbon atom and no lone pairs so it would seem like this shape would be tetrahedral. Here's what I have now. Thanks!arrow_forwardWe discussed the solid phase resin using in peptide synthesis. Provide a mechanism, for its formation. DRAW THE MECHANISM.arrow_forwardPlease help. Every time I've asked an expert in the past, it's been wrong :(arrow_forward
