A decapeptide has the following amino acid composition: Ala2 , Arg, Cys, Glu, Gly, Leu, Lys, Phe, Val Partial hydrolysis yields the following tripeptides: Cys-Glu-Leu + Gly-Arg-Cys + Leu-Ala-Ala+ Lys-Val-Phe + Val-Phe-Gly. Reaction of the decapeptide with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene yields 2,4-dinitrophenylysine. Fromthe experimental data, suggest a scheme you will follow to synthesize the dipeptide Ala-Gly
