(b) Which atoms are they?arrow_forward22-48 How many amino acid residues in the A chain of insulin are the same in insulin from humans, cattle (bovine), hogs, and sheep?arrow_forwardDraw a segment of the backbone of a protein that is long enough for three peptide linkages to be present.arrow_forward
- On 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_forwardFor the tripeptide GlyAlaCys a. What amino acid is located at the peptides N-terminal end? b. What amino acid is located at the peptides C-terminal end? c. How many peptide bonds are present? d. How many amide linkages are present?arrow_forward22-20 Show how alanine, in solution at its isoelectric point, acts as a buffer (write equations to show why the pH does not change much if we add an acid or a base).arrow_forward
