Show the steps in the synthesis of the tetrapeptide in problem 34, using Merrifield鈥檚 method.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The answer is,



Reaction

Step by step solution

01

Tetrapeptide

The peptides are the R-CONH-R鈥� bond and are formed between the amino acid compounds. The peptide chains containing three peptide bonds are called tetrapeptides. The peptide chains always contain peptide bonds a number less than the number of the amino acids used.

02

Explanation

The reaction for the synthesis of tetrapeptide is as given below.

Question: In determining the primary structure of insulin, what would lead you to conclude that insulin had more than one polypeptide chain?

Glutathione is a tripeptide whose function is to destroy harmful oxidizing agents in the body. Oxidizing agents are bought to be responsible for some of the effects of aging and to play a causative role in cancer.

Glutathione removes oxidizing agents by reducing them. In the process, glutathione is oxidized, resulting in the formation of a disulphide bond between two glutathione molecules. An enzyme subsequently reduces the disulphide bond, returning glutathione to its original condition so it can react with another oxidizing agent.

a. What amino acids make up glutathione?

b. What is unusual about glutathione鈥檚 structure?

alpha- Amino acids can be prepared by treating an aldehyde with ammonia/trace acid, followed by hydrogen cyanide, followed by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis.

a. Draw the structures of the two intermediates formed in this reaction.

b. What amino acid is formed when the aldehyde that is used is 3-methylbutanal?

c. What aldehyde is needed to prepare isoleucine?

Explain the order of elution (with a buffer of pH 4) of the following pairs of amino acids through a column packed with Dowex 50 (Figure 21.3):
