The peptide hormones vasopressin (ADH) and oxytocin each contain only nine amino acids.Vasopressin is an antidiuretic: even at low doses it controls the resorption of water by the distal tubules of the kidneys and regulates the osmotic content of blood. At high doses it can affect blood pressure. Oxytocin stimulates contraction of uterine smooth muscle. It is secreted during labor to effect delivery of the fetus. Oxytocin in therapeutically delivered to accelerate contractions in a labor that is not progressing. The primary sequences of the two peptides are shown below.Vasopressin: CYFQNCPRG Oxytocin: CYIQNCPLGQuestions: 1. Draw the Primary Structure of Vasopressin and Oxytocin. 2. Calculate the overall charge of the peptides at pH 1, 7, 9, 11 and 14. Are the peptidespositively or negatively charged at pH 7? Between which pH values in this range are thepeptides neutral?
