Interpretation Introduction

(a) Interpretation:

The peptides which are produced when alpha-melanotropin is cleaved by trypsin should be identified by the given table.

Concept Introduction:

Alpha melanotropin is a peptide made of 13 amino acids. It is an alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone. It stimulates the synthesis and its distribution in the melanocytes of the skin of mammals and melanophores of the lower vertebrates. The molecular formula of alpha melanotropin is C77H109N21O19S. According to the given table the peptides formed due to the cleavage by trypsin are lysine and arginine, by cyanogen bromide is methionine, by thermolysin are leucine, valine, Isoleucine and methionine.
