Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of each compound involved in the given solid peptide phase synthesis is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Solid phase peptide synthesis is a process in which an amino protected amino acid is treated with insoluble resin. After that, the amino acid is deprotected which gives rise to the formation of a dipeptide. This dipeptide is again treated with the amino protected amino acid. This cycle is repeated several times and resin is removed by using trifluoroacetic acid.
(b)
Interpretation:
A reason as to why

- 22-42 (a) How many atoms of the peptide bond lie in the same plane? (b) Which atoms are they?arrow_forwardOn complete hydrolysis, a polypeptide gives two alanine, one leucine, one methionine, one phenylalanine, and one valine residue. Partial hydrolysis gives the following fragments: Ala-Phe, Leu-Met, Val-Ala, Phe-Leu. It is known that the first amino acid in the sequence is valine and the last one is methionine. What is the complete sequence of amino acids?arrow_forwardIndicate whether each statement is true or false. (a) Tryptophan is an aromatic amino acid. (b) Lysine is positively charged at pH 7. (c) Asparagine has two amide bonds. (d) Isoleucine and leucine are enantiomers. (e) Valine is probably more water-soluble than arginine.arrow_forward
- Write the structure of all possible peptides containing these amino acids: Ala, Leu, Use single letter abbreviations and capital letters only; i.e. GYR, not Gly-Tyr-Arg. If there are fewer than 6 peptides, leave an appropriate number of answer boxes empty.arrow_forwardDraw 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.arrow_forwardDetermine the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide from the following data:Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis gives Ala, Arg, His, 2 Lys, Leu, 2 Met, Pro, 2 Ser, Thr, and Val.Carboxypeptidase A releases Val.Edman’s reagent releases PTH-Leu.Trypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis gives three peptides and a single amino acid:1.

- Researchers analysed a glycopeptide (a peptide carrying one or several oligosaccharide groups) and determined both the sequence of the peptide and the sequence of the sugar molecule. The latter was identified as a diholoside coupled to the peptide by an osidic bond. The systematic name of this sugar is: B-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-ß-D-galactopyranose. : Represent the chemical formula of this diholoside in a way that all oses are Question 1 represented according to the Haworth convention. Apart from the furane and/or pyrane cycles all atoms of this molecule must be given.arrow_forwardDraw the amino acids and peptide fragments formed when the decapeptide A–P–F–L–K–W–S–G–R–G is treated with each reagent or enzyme: (a) chymotrypsin; 8 pt helvetica roman (b) trypsin; (c) carboxypeptidase; (d) C6H5N = C = S.arrow_forward11.
