Somatostatin is a tetradecapeptide of the hypothalamus that inhibits the release of pituitary growth hormone. Its amino acid sequence has been determined by a combination of Edman degradations and enzymic hydrolysis experiments. On the basis of the following data, deduce the primary structure of somatostatin: 1. Edman degradation gave PTH-Ala. 2. Selective hydrolysis gave peptides having the following indicated sequences: Phe-Trp Thr-Ser-Cys Lys-Thr-Phe Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Cys Asn-Phe-Phe-Trp-Lys Ala-Gly-Cys-Lys-Asn-Phe 3. Somatostatin has a disulfide bridge.
