Which amino acid is in the D configuration (enter the name or 'none')? What is the amino acid sequence of this peptide? Enter your answer using the single letter abbretiavions for the amino acids; i.e. GPT, not Gly-Pro-Thr. Do not use spaces or hyphens. What is the net charge of this peptide at physiological pH? Enter your answer as a '0' or with a (+) or (-) sign and then an integer value; i.e. 0 or +1 or -2.
