Two melanocyte-stimulating hormones have the following amino acid sequences. Take a highlighter or colored pencil, and figure out how much of the sequence the porcine MSH has in common with the human MSH (how much is conserved between the two species). beta-MSH (human): Ala-Glu-Lys-Lys-Asp-Glu-Gly-Pro-Tyr-Arg-Met-Glu-His-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-Ser-Pro-Pro-Lys-Asp beta-MSH (porcine): Asp-Glu-Gly-Pro-Tyr-Lys-Met-Glu-His-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-Ser-Pro-Pro-Lys-Asp One amino acid interrupts the parts you highlighted in each sequence. Which amino acid was it in each and which category does that amino acid belong to on your amino acid chart? this to make much difference for the cross-species function of beta-MSH (why?)? and Do you expect
