Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The fragments obtained from the cleavage of the given peptide chain by trypsin has to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Amino acids are linked each other by peptide bonds is called protein (one or more peptide bonds). Peptide bonds are amide bonds, in which carbonyl group of one amino acid bonded to amino group of other amino acid. The chain of the protein is drawn in such a way that left end is occupied by free amino group (say N-terminal) and right side of the chain is occupied by carbonyl group (say C-terminal).
Endopeptidases cleave peptide bonds that are not at the end.
Trypsin is an endopeptidase, which cleave the C-side peptide bond of positively charged side chains such as arginine, histidine and lysine.

Show your work.arrow_forwardConsider the peptide Asp-Lys-Phe-Glu-Asn-Tyr-Gln-Val-Cys. In a single beaker, you treat this peptide with 2 proteases. One protease cleaves at the N-terminus of aromatic R groups and the other cleaves at the C-terminus of polar, non-ionizable R groups. Following the enzymatic digestion, you want to separate your peptide fragments so that you can identify them. You choose to separate the fragments using an anion exchange column. Beginning at pH=6 you apply your peptide fragments to the column and you gradually decrease the pH of the column stopping the separation when the pH of the column equals 4. Omitting chemical structures, write the amino acid sequence of the peptide fragments that are produced from this digest. Write the order that these fragments will elute from the column (if at all).
