Solving the Sequence of an Oligopeptide From Sequence Analysis Data Analysis of the blood of a catatonic football fan revealed large concentrations of a. psychologic octapeptide. Amino acid analysis of this oclapeplide gave the following results: 2 Ala lArg 1 Asp 1 Mel 2 Tyr I Val 1NH/ The following facts were observed: Partial acid hydrolysis of the octapeptide yielded a dipeptide of the structure Chymolrypsin treatment of the octapeplide yielded two tetrapeptides, each containing an alanine residue. Trypsin treatment of one of the tetrapeptides yielded two dipeptides. Cyanogen bromide treatment of another sample of the same tetrapeplide yielded a tripeplideand free Tyr.
