Question
Chapter 21, Problem 51P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structure of the amino acids and peptides formed by hydrolysis of the following peptide with chymotrypsin: Gly-Tyr-Gly-Ala-Phe-Val should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Chymotrypsin is a digestive enzyme. Chymotrypsin will hydrolyze only at certain peptide bonds in which the carbonyl group of the peptide bond comes from phenylalanine, tyrosine or tryptophan.
