Solving the Sequence of an Oligopeptide From Sequence Analysis Data Amino acid analysis of ill octapeptide gave the following results:

1 Ala 1 Arg 1 Asp 1 gly 3 he 1 Val 1 NH4+

The following facts were observed:

a. Trypsin treatment yielded a pentapeptide and a tripeptide.

b. Chemical reduction of the free or-COOH and subsequent acid hydrolysis yielded 2-aminopropanol.

c. Partial aeid hydrolysis of the tryptic pentapeptide yielded, among other products, two dipeptides, each of which, contained C-terminal isoleucine. One of these dipeptides migrated as an anionic species upon electrophoresis at neutral pH.

What is an amino acid sequence of the octapeptide? Four sequences art possible, but only one suits the authors. Why?

The tryptic tripeplide was degraded in an Edman sequenator, yielding first A, then B:
