Practice Problem 24.13

The synthesis of a polypeptide containing lysine requires the protection of both amino groups.

(a) Show how you might do this in a synthesis of the dipeptide KI using the ben-zyloxycarbonyl group as a protecting group.

(b) The benzyloxycarbonyl group can also be used to protect the guanidino group, N H | | N H C N H 2 , of arginine. Show a synthesis of the dipeptide RA.

A tripeptide on hydrolysis produced glycine, alanine and leucine.  The structures of these amino acids are shown below.  On reaction with Edman’s reagent, leucine was released as the phenylhydantoin. Treatment of the tripeptide with carboxypeptidase gave glycine. Draw the structure of the tripeptide.
Draw the structure of the tetrapeptide Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr. Please show the appropriate stereochemistry of the natural amino acids in the resulting peptide. Please draw all ionizable groups in their neutral form.
The peptide Proline-Serine-Alanine-Phenylalanine-Glutamine is present at pH 7. Draw the peptide and include stereochemistry.
