Introduction:

There are certain process and hormones that control and regulate glycolytic pathwaywithin a cell. They aremajorly controlled by kinetic properties of the hexokinase isoenzyme, shich stabilize and regulate blood sugar levels in human cells. When blood glucose levels are lowered, these properties further allow cells of the brain and muscle to avail sufficient supply of glucose. The increase in blood glucose levels causes the cells do notphosphorylate excess glucose levels and thus, supply necessary amounts required by the cells of the body.

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.
