Question

Determine the sequence of amino acids in the peptide described below.

a. Hydrolysis of the peptide gives the following amino acids in equal amounts: Ala, Asp, Glu, Met, Lys, Phe, Tyr, and Val.

b. Treatment of the peptide with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene followed by hydrolysis yields Asp labeled with a 2,4-DNP group.

c. When the peptide is treated with carboxypeptidase, the concentration of Val increases rapidly.

d. Hydrolysis of the peptide with trypsin gives a tripeptide (A) and a pentapeptide (B).

e. The tripeptide (A) is cleaved by chymotrypsin to give Phe and a dipeptide with a pI of about 5.6.

f. The pentapeptide (B) is cleaved by chymotrypsin to give a dipeptide and a tripeptide. Reaction of the tripeptide with cyanogen bromide gives Tyr.

Explanation / Answer

All reactions are from N to C terminal

Asp-Met-Tyr -4-Lys-Phe-7-Val

For 7th and 4th postion consider 4th segment. The PI of 7th-Val is 5.6. Valine has PI 5.96 and two aa Glu and Asp are remaining. So glutamine will present.

Now the peptide chain is Asp-Met-Tyr -Asp-Lys-Phe-Glu-Val
