Summary Introduction

To review:

The possible steps by which Clostridium acetobutylicum is capable of producing butyl alcohols, in contrast to the production of ethanol by yeast.

Introduction:

Pyruvate is one of the metabolic products produced at the end of glycolysis. It is converted to ethanol, lactic acid, or carbon dioxide and water under different situations. Under anaerobic conditions, pyruvate is able to generate only two molecules of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Certain microbe, such as C. acetobutylicum, are able to generate butanol as a waste product during the oxidation of pyruvate.

Please help with this Mass Spectrometry Question. Thank you For the mass spec. shown in the attached image, please determine and give the amino acid sequence of the pentapeptide. Show which end is the amino terminus and which is the carboxy terminus. How does one arrive at the solution?
Draw a tripeptide of your choosing at pH 7. Have the N-terminus on the left and the C-terminus on the right. Then: Draw a triangle around the α-carbons. Draw a box around the R-groups. Circle the atoms capable of hydrogen bonding. Highlight the atoms involved in the formation of the peptide bonds. What type of structure have you drawn? (primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary protein structure).
2. For the flow of fluid over a flat membrane of length 10cm, determine the length-average mass transfer coefficient. The relevant properties of the system are u=0.01cm²/s, D=5 x 106 cm²/s, and v = 5.0 cm/s.
