Draw a dipeptide with alanine (R = CH3) at the C-terminus and serine (R = CH2OH) at the N- terminus. The peptide should: %3D show the amino acid residues with correct stereochemistry for naturally occurring amino acids, contain an s-trans-peptide link; indicate any charges as they would be predominantly found at physiological pH (-7).

Using the information below, determine the amino acid sequence of the peptide, and explain how your structure is consistent with each piece of information. Complete hydrolysis by 6 M HCl at 110°C followed by amino acid analysis indicated the presence of Gly, Leu, Phe, and Tyr in a 2:1:1:1 molar ratio. Treatment of the peptide with1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene followed by complete hydrolysis and chromatography indicated the presence of the 2,4-dinitrophenyl derivative of tyrosine. No free tyrosine could be found. Complete digestion of he peptide with pepsin (which cleaves on the amino side of aromatic residues) followed by chromatography yielded a dipeptide containing Phe and Leu and a tripeptide containing Tyr and Gly in a 1:2 ratio.
