Question
Chapter 27, Problem 27.73AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The curved-arrow notation for peptide cleavage upon the treatment of the given peptide with Edman reagent is to be stated and the structure of X is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Edman reagent is used in Edman Degradation for protein sequencing. We can label and cleave the amino acid residue from the peptide without disturbing the other peptide bonds. For this phenyl isothiocyanate is used and then acidic conditions are applied.
