Question
Chapter 29, Problem 29.60P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The sequence of angiotensin using fragments; Ile-His-Pro-Phe, Arg-Arg-Val, Tyr-Ile-His, and Val-Tyr obtained by partial hydrolysis with acid are to be stated.
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.

A chemically modified guanidino group is present in cimetidine (Tagamet), a widely
prescribed drug for the control of gastric acidity and peptic ulcers. Cimetidine reduces
gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the interaction of histamine with gastric H, recep-
tors. In the development of this drug, a cyano group was added to the substituted gua-
nidino group to alter its basicity. Do you expect this modified guanidino group to be
more basic or less basic than the guanidino group of arginine? Explain.

Lysine and tryptophan are two amino acids that contain an additional N atom in the R group bonded to the α carbon. While lysine is classied as a basic amino acid because it contains an additional basic N atom, tryptophan is classied as a neutral amino acid. Explain why this difference in classication occurs.
A naturally occurring amino acid such as alanine has a group that is a carboxylic acid and a group that is a protonated amine. The pKa values of the two groups are shown.(a). If the pKa value of a carboxylic acid such as acetic acid is about 5, then why is the pKa value of the carboxylic acid group of alanine so much lower? (b). Draw the structure of alanine in a solution at pH = 0.
(c). Draw the structure of alanine in a solution at physiological pH (pH 7.4).(d). Draw the structure of alanine in a solution at pH = 12.
(e). Is there a pH at which alanine is uncharged (that is, neither group has a charge)?
(f) At what pH does alanine have no net charge (that is, the amount of negative charge is the same as the amount of positive charge)?
