Chapter 29: 19P (page 1170)

Draw the structure of the N-phenylthiohydantoin formed by initial Edman degradation of each peptide: (a) Ala-Gly-Phe-Phe; (b) Val-Ile-Tyr.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Edman degradation is a technique to cleave amino acids from the N-terminal of the peptide chain, and the process continues until the whole sequence is known.

There are two products formed by Edman degradation, one is N-phenylthiohydantoin, and the other is a new peptide chain with one less amino acid.

Step by step solution

01

Edman Degradation

Edman degradation is a technique to cleave amino acids from the N-terminal of the peptide chain, and the process continues until the whole sequence is known.

There are two products formed by Edman degradation, one is N-phenylthiohydantoin, and the other is a new peptide chain with one less amino acid.

02

Structure of the N-phenylthiohydantoin formed by initial Edman degradation of Ala-Gly-Phe-Phe.

a.The initial Edman degradation of Ala-Gly-Phe-Phe is done by cleaving amino acid from N-terminal.

03

Structure of the N-phenylthiohydantoin formed by initial Edman degradation of Val-Ile-Tyr.

b. The initial Edman degradation of Val-Ile-Tyr is done by removing N-terminal amino acid from the peptide chain.

Give the amino acid sequence of an octapeptide that contains the amino acids Tyr, Ala, Leu (2 equiv), Cys, Gly, Glu and Val, and forms the following fragments when partially hydrolyzed with HCl: Val-Cys-Gly-Glu, Ala-Leu-Tyr, and Tyr-Leu-Val-Cys.

Deduce the sequence of a heptapeptide that contains the amino acids Ala, Arg, Glu, Gly, Leu, Phe, and Ser, from the following experimental data. Edman degradation cleaves Leu from the heptapeptide, and carboxypeptidase forms Glu and a hexapeptide. Treatment of the heptapeptide with chymotrypsin forms a hexapeptide and a single amino acid. Treatment of the heptapeptide with trypsin forms a pentapeptide and a dipeptide. Partial hydrolysis forms Glu, Leu, Phe, and the tripeptidesGly鈥揂la鈥揝er and Ala鈥揝er鈥揂rg

What is the predominant form of each of the following amino acids at pH=1? What is the overall charge on the amino acid at this pH?(a)threonine ; (b)methionine; (c)aspartic acid; (d)arginine

Draw the product formed when the following amino acid is treated with each reagent: (a)CH3OH;H+; (b)CH3COCl, pyridine; (c) HCl (1 equiv); (d) NaOH (1 equiv); (e)C6H5N=C=S.

What form exists at the isoelectric point of each of the following amino acids: (a) valine; (b)leucine; (c)proline; (d) glutamic acid
