An unknown decapeptide was isolated and characterized. Complete hydrolysis of this peptide gave : F(2), A,G,C,K,N,T, W and V. Treatment with carboxypeptidase releases A. Reaction with Edman’s reagent gave PTH-T and a nonapeptide. The nonapeptide was treated with trypsin and gave 2 peptides: (V-C-G-A) and (N-FF-W-K). Give the sequence of amino acid in the decapeptide.
The side chain of acetyl-L-lysine-OMe has a pKa=10.5 and its acid-dissociation reaction is shown below.
B. At what pH does [A-]=[HA]?
(a) The two most acidic hydrogens of uracil have pKa’s of 9.5 and 14.2, respectively. Match these pKa’s with the hydrogens in the structural formula and provide structures for the most stable resonance contributors of the monoanion and the dianion.(b) The pKa of the conjugate acid of triethylamine is 10.4. Is triethylamine a strong enough base to convert uracil to its monoanion? To its dianion?
