Ethyleneimine reacts with cysteine side chains in proteins to form S - aminoethyl derivatives. The peptide bonds on the carboxyl side of these modified cysteine residues are susceptible to hydrolysis by trypsin . Why?
A chemically modified guanidino group is present in cimetidine (Tagamet), a widely
prescribed drug for the control of gastric acidity and peptic ulcers. Cimetidine reduces
gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the interaction of histamine with gastric H, recep-
tors. In the development of this drug, a cyano group was added to the substituted gua-
nidino group to alter its basicity. Do you expect this modified guanidino group to be
more basic or less basic than the guanidino group of arginine? Explain.
