Question:With reference to the following peptide:
(a) Identify the N-terminal and C-terminal amino acids.
(b) Name the peptide using one-letter abbreviations.
(c) Label all the amide bonds in the peptide backbone.

As shown in Mechanism 29.2, the final steps in the Edman degradation result in rearrangement of a thiazolinone to an N-phenylthiohydantoin. Draw a stepwise mechanism for this acid-catalyzed reaction.

What types of stabilizing interactions exist between each of the following pairs of amino acids?
a. Ser and Tyr
b. Val and Leu
c. two Phe residues
Brucine is a poisonous alkaloid obtained from Strychnosnux vomica, a tree that grows in India, Sri Lanka, and northern Australia. Write out a resolution scheme similar to the one given in Section 29.3A, which shows how a racemic mixture of phenylalanine can be resolved using brucine
