Question

Be sure to answer all parts.

Give the amino acid sequence of an octapeptide that contains the amino acids Cys, Ile (2 equiv)
, Lys, Met, Ser, His, Tyr, and forms the following fragments when partially hydrolyzed with HCl: SerTyrMetCys, LysIleHis, and HisIleSerTyr. Be sure to answer all parts.

Give the amino acid sequence of an octapeptide that contains the amino acids Cys, Ile (2 equiv)
, Lys, Met, Ser, His, Tyr, and forms the following fragments when partially hydrolyzed with HCl: SerTyrMetCys, LysIleHis, and HisIleSerTyr.

Explanation / Answer

SerTyrMetCys

LysIleHis

HisIleSerTyr.

You have to start by looking for overlapping amino acids

LysIleHis

HisIleSerTyr. In these two the His amino acid is same . Hence we get

LysIleHisIleSerTyr

Now we look at the first sequence and see that it has Ser-Tyr which matches with the end of the sequence we just formed. Hence you join them

LysIleHisIleSerTyrMetCys

This is the octapeptide that you want
