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:

Draw a diagram to demonstrate 3' to 5' exonuclease activity?
1. Write the piece of mRNA that would code for the amino acid sequence NH3 - met - tyr - cys- his- CO2.  Label the 5' and 3' ends. (diagram attached)  2.
You were tasked with purifying an untagged transcription factor (molecular weight 65,000Da, isoelectric point unknown) from a contaminant Protein A (molecular weight 50,000 Da, isoelectric point 5.0). You were also instructed to use the protein for crystallization studies after purification.i) In the initial purification step, which type of chromatography should you attempt? Explain your choice and specify the requirements of the buffer solution you should use. ii) Analyzing the proteins recovered from step i) using SDS-PAGE, you still observed a faint band of Protein A in addition to the transcription factor band. Given the limited time available for further purification, you must choose ONE appropriate chromatography method to maximize the chances of separating the two proteins as well as your crystallization studies. Provide a detailed explanation of your selection and the techniques/strategies you would employ to achieve this.
