Tetrapeptide A is completely hydrolysed under acidic conditions to yield alanine, aspartic acid, isoleucine and valine. On neutralisation of the hydrolysate, an odour of ammonia is detected. The reaction of the tetrapeptide with phenylisothiocyanate, followed by mild hydrolysis yields no phenylthiohydantoin derivative. Incubation of A with carboxypeptidase A has no effect either. Explain...
Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide that serves as a mild reducing agent to detoxify peroxides and maintain the cysteineresidues of hemoglobin and other red blood cell proteins in the reduced state. Complete hydrolysis of glutathione givesGly, Glu, and Cys. Treatment of glutathione with carboxypeptidase gives glycine as the first free amino acid released.Treatment of glutathione with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (Sanger reagent, Problem 24-21, page 1246), followed bycomplete hydrolysis, gives the 2,4-dinitrophenyl derivative of glutamic acid. Treatment of glutathione with phenylisothiocyanate does not give a recognizable phenylthiohydantoin, however.(a) Propose a structure for glutathione consistent with this information. Why would glutathione fail to give a normalproduct from Edman degradation, even though it gives a normal product from the Sanger reagent followed byhydrolysis?(b) Oxidation of glutathione forms glutathione disulfide (GSSG). Propose a structure for glutathione disulfide, and…
The disaccharide lactulose consists of a d-galactopyranose subunit and a d-fructofuranose subunit joined by a β-1,4-glycosidic linkage. After treatmentof lactulose with 1. excess CH3I/Ag2O, 2. HCl/H2O, the d-galactopyranose subunit was found to have one nonmethylated OH group, whereas thed-fructofuranose subunit had two. Draw the structure of α-lactulose.
Chorismate mutase is an enzyme that promotes a pericyclic reaction by forcing the substrate to assume the conformation needed for the reaction. The product of the pericyclic reaction is prephenate that is subsequently converted into the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine. What kind of a pericyclic reaction does chorismate mutase catalyze?
An unknown carbohydrate of formula C12H22O11 reacts with Tollens reagent to form asilver mirror. An a@glycosidase has no effect on the carbohydrate, but a b@galactosidasehydrolyzes it to d-galactose and d-mannose. When the carbohydrate is methylated (usingmethyl iodide and silver oxide) and then hydrolyzed with dilute HCl, the products are2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methylgalactose and 2,3,4-tri-O-methylmannose. Propose a structure forthis unknown carbohydrate

Because of its bat configuration, Batman's body produces excess nitrogen and excretes it as a form of urea, NH2CONH2. The reaction that produces it is the combination of arginine (C6H14N4O2) with the body's water to give urea and ornithine (C5H12N2O2), according to the following reaction: C6H14N4OR2 + H2O → NH2CONH2 + C5H12N2OR2 arginine urea ornithine a. Assuming Batman is a perfect (ideal) machine, his body completely removes the produced urea which is 95 mg of urea; calculate the mass of arginine that must have been used by his body. b. Calculate the mass of ornithine that his body produced. c. If the rest of normal humans are not a perfect machine, it has been established that for this case, the normal human produces 0.0003686 lb of ornithine. What is the reaction efficiency of the normal human body compared to Batman's.
Aspartame (Nutrasweet®) is a remarkably sweet-tasting dipeptide ester. Complete hydrolysis of aspartame gives phenylalanine, aspartic acid, and methanol. Mild incubation with carboxypeptidase has no effect on aspartame. Treatment ofaspartame with phenyl isothiocyanate, followed by mild hydrolysis, gives the phenylthiohydantoin of aspartic acid.Propose a structure for aspartame.
A nonapeptide released by globulins in the blood in response to a waspsting. Hydrolysis gives the following amino acids: 2 Arg, Gly, 2 Phe, 3 Pro, and Ser.Edman degradation gives phenylthiohydantoin of Arg. Cleavage with carboxypeptidase gives Arg. Partial hydrolysis gives the following di- and tripeptides: Phe-Ser, Pro-GlyPhe, Pro-Pro, Ser-Pro-Phe, Phe-Arg, and Arg-Pro. What is the amino acid sequence of this peptide?
Determine the primary structure of an octapeptide from the following data: Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis gives 2 Arg, Leu, Lys, Met, Phe, Ser, and Tyr. Carboxypeptidase A releases Ser. Edman’s reagent releases Leu. Treatment with cyanogen bromide forms two peptides with the following amino acid compositions: 1. Arg, Phe, Ser 2. Arg, Leu, Lys, Met, Tyr Trypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis forms the following two amino acids and two peptides: 1. Arg 2. Ser 3. Arg, Met, Phe 4. Leu, Lys, Tyr
