Interpretation:
The steps involved in the synthesis of the tripeptide KFA using the SPPS procedure are to be outlined.
Concept introduction:
Amino acids are organic compounds containing
Basicity is the ability to donate electron pair. Compounds that can donate electron pair easily are more basic.
In solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), peptides are prepared, residue by residue; one end of the peptide is anchored to an insoluble
Diisopropylcarbodiimide is used as a bond forming agent between N-terminal amino acid of the peptide growing and carbonyl group of the new amino acid.
Fmoc is the protection group used in the synthesis of polypeptides by solid phase peptide synthesis.
Boc and Phenyl-Fmoc are the protection groups that are used for protecting side-chain amino group.

Its amino acid sequence has been determined by a combination of Edman degradations and enzymic hydrolysis experiments. On the basis of the following data, deduce the primary structure of somatostatin: 1. Edman degradation gave PTH-Ala. 2. Selective hydrolysis gave peptides having the following indicated sequences: Phe-Trp Thr-Ser-Cys Lys-Thr-Phe Thr-Phe-Thr-Ser-Cys Asn-Phe-Phe-Trp-Lys Ala-Gly-Cys-Lys-Asn-Phe 3.
