Protein Sequencing: A student is sequencing a short peptide using the Sanger method. Based on the experimental results, write out the complete peptide structure using 3 letter amino acid abbreviations and showing all covalent bonds between amino acids.
Experimental Results:
The peptide hormone was treated with DNFB, followed by hydrolysis and amino acid analysis.
Results: DNP- Ala
Free aa: Ala, Arg, Asp, Lys, Phe, Ser, Val
2. The peptide hormone was treated with Trypsin. Two peptides (A & B) were separated, treated with DNFB, followed by hydrolysis and amino acid analysis.
Peptide A Results: DNP-Ala and free aa: Arg, Asp, Val
Peptide B Results: DNP-Ser and free aa: Ala, Lys, Phe
3. The peptide hormone was treated with Chymotrypsin. One peptide and a free amino acid were separated. The peptide treated with DNFB, followed by hydrolysis and amino acid analysis.
Free Amino acid: Lys
Peptide A Results: DNP-Ala and free aa: Ala, Arg, Asp, Phe, Ser, Val
4. The peptide hormone was treated with Asp-N-Protease: Two peptides (A & B) were separated, treated with DNFB, followed by hydrolysis and amino acid analysis.
Peptide A Results: DNP-Ala and free aa: Val
Peptide B Results: DNP-Asp and free aa: Ala, Arg, Lys, Phe, Ser
Protein Sequencing: A student is sequencing a
