What happens in the absence of tryptophan in the 2-3 configuration?
A bloactlve hexapeptide was cleaved by trypsln from a larger proteln. The peptlde was
sequenced by treatment with varlOus reagents and enzymes. The results are as follows:
a) Treatment with cyan0gen bromlde gave a tetrapeptlde of compositlon asp, trp, cys
and met.
b) Treatment with chymotrypsln gave a tripeptlde of compositlon asp, trp and cys, a
dipeptlde wlth the same C-term and an amlno acld.
c) Treatment with streptococcal protease gave a dipeptlde and a tetrapeptlde.
The composltion of the peptlde Is lys, trp, asp, cys and met
1. What Is the sequence of the hexapeptlde?
2. What is the pl of thls peptlde?

- A gene contains the sequence CGCATACGGTAC that results in the amino acid sequence arg-ile-arq- tyr. A mutation in this gene has a G inserted after the second C in the strand. How will this mutation affect the phenotype? A)This will affect the phenotype because although most of the protein will be identical, the first amino acid will be different. B)This will not affect the phenotype because only the second amino acid is different from the original protein. C)This will not affect the phenotype because the protein will be identical to the original protein. D)This will affect the phenotype because all of the amino acids after the first one will be different from the original protein.arrow_forwardWhat factors account for the high phosphoryl-transfer potential of nucleoside triphosphates?arrow_forwardThe BamH1 enzyme comes at a concentration of 100,000 U/ml.
