Question
Chapter 26, Problem 43P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanisms for the rearrangement and coupling steps are to be written in NCL for the given reaction.
Concept Introduction:
The sulfur atom in the side chain of cysteine acts as a nucleophile and can attack the carbonyl carbon of the thioester of an amino acid.
The non-native thioester linkage in the product undergoes a rearrangement in order to form a more stable amide linkage.

Somatostatin is a tetradecapeptide of the hypothalamus that inhibits the release of pituitary growth hormone. 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. Somatostatin has a disulfide bridge.
Bradykinin is a linear nonapeptide released by blood plasma globulin in response
to a wasp sting. It is a very potent pain-causing agent. Its constituent amino
acids are 2R, G, 2F, 3P, S. The sue of 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene and
carboxypeptidase shows that both terminal residues are arginine. Partial
hydrolysis of bradykinin gives the following di- and tripeptides:
FS + PGF +PP + SPF + FR + RP
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.
