A sample of an unknown peptide was divided into two aliquots. One aliquot was treated with trypsin; the other one was treated with cyanogen bromide. Given the following sequences (N-terminal to C-terminal) of the resulting fragments, deduce the sequence of the original peptide.   Trypsin treatment Asn-Thr-Trp-Met-Ile-Lys Gly-Tyr-Met-Gln-Phe Val-Leu-Gly-Met-Ser-Arg   Cyanogen bromide treatment Gln-Phe Val-Leu-Gly-Met Ile-Lys-Gly-Tyr-Met
