Chapter 24: Q22P (page 1283)

Show where trypsin and chymotrypsin would cleave the following peptide.

Tyr-Ile-Gln-Arg-Leu-Gly-Phe-Lys-Asn-Trp-Phe-Gly-Ala-Lys-Gly-Gln-Gln.NH2

Short Answer

Expert verified

Trypsin is an enzyme and it breaks down protein into amino acids. It cleaves at the carboxyl side or C-terminal side of the amino acids lysine and arginine.

Cleavage sites of Trypsin

Step by step solution

01

Step-1. Action of trypsin on peptide chain:

Trypsin is an enzyme and it breaks down protein into amino acids. It cleaves at the carboxyl side or C-terminal side of the amino acids lysine and arginine.

Cleavage sites of Trypsin

02

Step-2. Action of chymotrypsin on peptide chain:

Chymotrypsin helps in breaking down protein into smaller units known as amino acids and cleaves at the carboxyl side of aromatic amino acids such as tyrosine, tryptophan, phenylalanine etc.
