Use the given experimental data to deduce the sequence of an octapeptide that contains the following amino acids: Ala, Gly (2 equiv), His (2 equiv), Ile, Leu and Phe. Edman degradation cleaves Gly from the octapeptide, and carboxypeptidase forms Leu and a heptapeptide. Partial hydrolysis forms the following fragments: Ile-His-Leu, Gly, Gly-Ala-Phe-His, and Phe-His-Ile.
Question: Identify the functional groups in each molecule. Classify each alcohol, alkyl halide, amide, and amine as 1°, 2°, or 3°

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?
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.

Name each peptide using both the three-letter and one-letter abbreviations of the component amino acids.
