Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of each compound involved in the given solid peptide phase synthesis is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Solid phase peptide synthesis is a process in which an amino protected amino acid is treated with insoluble resin. After that, the amino acid is deprotected which gives rise to the formation of a dipeptide. This dipeptide is again treated with the amino protected amino acid. This cycle is repeated several times and resin is removed by using trifluoroacetic acid.
(b)
Interpretation:
A reason as to why

- 22-42 (a) How many atoms of the peptide bond lie in the same plane? (b) Which atoms are they?arrow_forwardOn complete hydrolysis, a polypeptide gives two alanine, one leucine, one methionine, one phenylalanine, and one valine residue. Partial hydrolysis gives the following fragments: Ala-Phe, Leu-Met, Val-Ala, Phe-Leu. It is known that the first amino acid in the sequence is valine and the last one is methionine. What is the complete sequence of amino acids?arrow_forwardAnother method to form a peptide bond involves a two-step process Conversion of a Boc-protected amino acid to a p-nitrophenyl ester. Why does a p-nitrophenyl ester “activate” the carboxy group of thefirst amino acid to amide formation?arrow_forward

- A tripeptide contains lysine (R= -(CH₂)4NH₂), phenylalanine (R= -CH₂C6H5) and glycine (R= -H). It was found that the tripeptide reacts with 2 moles of DNFB to give compound A. When compound A was treated with SOCI2, glycine was activated. When hydrolyzed, both NH₂ groups of lysine were found to be DNP-labelled. What is the structure of the tripeptide?
