Question
Chapter 25, Problem 44P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Cells were incubated with 14C labeled glucose in the second position. The uracil synthesized in the cell is found to have labeled carbon (14C) at the 4th and 6th positions. The pattern for such labeling in uracil should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Purines are heterocyclic organic compounds. Purine is composed of two fused rings, a pyrimidine ring, and an imidazole ring. Adenine and guanine, found in

- Ionization State of Histidine.Each ionizable group of an amino acid can exist in one of two states, charged or neutral.

- Peptide mass determination. You have isolated a proteinfrom the bacterium E. coli and seek to confirm its identityby trypsin digestion and mass spectrometry. Determinationof the masses of several peptide fragments has enabled youto deduce the identity of the protein. However, there is adiscrepancy with one of the peptide fragments, whichyou believe should have the sequence MLNSFK and an(M 1 H)1 value of 739.38. In your experiments, yourepeat edly obtain an (M 1 H)1 value of 767.38.

Give me correct answer.arrow_forwardPeptides. 1. Draw the peptide Ala-Glu-Gly-Lys, as it would occur at physiological pH = 7.4. The R groups of Ala and Gly are not acidic or basic, therefore do not have a pka and the charge on these R groups is therefore independent of pH. Glu is acidic and Lys is basic, therefore the charge on these amino acids is pH dependent. The pKas are shown below. pKa N-term = 9.0 C-term = 3.5 Glu4.1 Lys = 10.5 2.
