Draw the structure of leu-enkephalin, a pentapeptide that acts as an analgesic and opiate, and has the following sequence: Tyr–Gly–Gly–Phe–Leu. (The structure of a related peptide, met-enkephalin,
appeared in Section 22.6B.)
Tryptophan is not classified as a basic amino acid even though it has a heterocycle containing a nitrogen atom. Why is the N atom in the five-membered ring of tryptophan not readily protonated by acid?
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–Ala–Ser and Ala–Ser–Arg
Draw the structure of each peptide. Label the N-terminal and C-terminal amino acids and all amide bonds.
a. Val–Glu
b. Gly–His–Leu
c. M–A–T–T
Which of the following amino acids are typically found in the interior of a globular protein, and which are typically found on the surface: (a)phenylalanine; (b)aspartic acid; (c) lysine; (d) isoleucine; (e) arginine; (f) glutamic acid?
