A peptide with endorphin-like property was produced and obtained from the blood. This was sequence using the protocol: Treatment with streptococcal protease gave a tripeptide and a tetrapeptide. Treatment with trypsin gave two tripeptides and an amino acid. Treatment of the 2 tripeptide products in 1.2 with 2,4-dinitrophenol gave DNP- S, and DNP-E and a mixture of amino acids. The composition of the peptide is G, E, S, and K in a 2:1:1:3 molar ratio.

A heptapeptide when treated with trypsin produced two peptides. T1 (D, G, Y) and T2 (K, F, V, A). When the heptapeptide was treated with chymotrypsin, three peptides were produced: CT1 (K,,Y, G), CT2 (F,A, V), and CT3 (D). The sequences of these peptides is not known, however. When the peptide was treated with Sanger’s Reagent and hydrolyzed, DNP-K and DNP-A were recovered. What is the amino acid sequence of the heptapeptide?
