Question
Predict the amino acid sequence based on the conditions below. Use the one-letter abbreviation of amino acids. a. The amino acid in the C-terminal is optically inactive. b. The fifth amino acid is a neutral aromatic amino acid that yields a negative result for the Xanthoproteic test using intact protein while producing a yellow soln with Xanthoproteic reagent and yielding a negative result with Hopkin's Cole test using basic hydrolysate. c. Yields serine and a hexapeptide after treatment of aminopeptidase (specificity: peptide bond on the N-terminus). d. The amino acid beside the N-terminal a.a. will yield ornithine and urea after alkaline hydrolysis. e. The third amino acid gives a positive result for Hopkins-Cole Test. f. Chymotrypsin cannot cleave the peptide bond on the fifth amino acid because of the presence of this a.a. residue. g. The amino acid at the carboxy-end of the third a.a. will yield a black precipitate for Pb(Ac)2.
