Chapter 27, Problem 58P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The sequence of an octapeptide that contains amino acids is to be deduced by using the experimental data.

Concept introduction: Peptide linkage is formed between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of other amino acid with the loss of water molecule. Amino acids are naturally occurring compounds in which the amino group is present on the alpha carbon of carboxyl group. The name of amino acids is represented by the one-letter and three-letter abbreviations. Edman degradation is used to identify the N-terminal amino acids.

Deduce the sequence of a heptapeptide that contains the amino acids Ala, Arg, Glu, Gly, Leu, Phe, and Ser, from the following experimental data. Edman degradation cleaves Leu from the heptapeptide, and carboxypeptidase forms Glu and a hexapeptide. Treatment of the heptapeptide with chymotrypsin forms a hexapeptide and a single amino acid. Treatment of the heptapeptide with trypsin forms a pentapeptide and a dipeptide. Partial hydrolysis forms Glu, Leu, Phe, and the tripeptides Gly-Ala-Ser and Ala-Ser-Arg.
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.
