Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Determining the Sequence of an Octapeptide**
Given Data for Analysis:
- **Edmund's Reaction**: PTH-Asn
- **Partial Hydrolyses**:
- Glu, Gly
- Leu, Asn, Gly
- His, Met
- Met, Glu
- Asn, Leu
- His, Val, Ser
- His, Val
**Task**: Using the data provided, determine the correct sequence of the octapeptide.
**Question**: What is the 7th amino acid in the sequence?
**Options**:
- Leucine
- Methionine
- Histidine
- Valine
- Serine
- Asparagine
**Explanation of Chemical Processes**:
- **Edmund Degradation**: A method used for sequencing amino acids in peptides. The result of this reaction shows that the N-terminal amino acid is asparagine (Asn).
- **Partial Hydrolysis**: Breaking the peptide bond at several points provides small fragments, which help deduce the sequence.
**Note**: Since graphs or diagrams were not provided, no further detailed explanation of those elements is required.
