help #14

You have purified a new peptide hormone. To determine its amino acid sequence you have digested the polypeptide with trypsin and in
a separate reaction you have cleaved the polypeptide with cyanogen bromide.
Cleavage with trypsin yielded 5 peptides that were sequenced by Edman degradation as shown in the following.
1. Ser-Leu
2. Asp-Val-Arg
3. Val-Met-Glu-Lys
4. Ser-Gln-Met-His-Lys
5. Ile-Phe-Met-Leu-Cys-Arg
Cleavage with cyanogen bromide yielded 4 peptides that were sequenced by Edman degradation:
1. His-Lys-Ser-Leu
2. Asp-Val-Arg-Val-Met
3. Glu-Lys-lle-Phe-Met
4. Leu-Cys-Arg-Ser-Gln-Met
Determine the identity of the N-terminal amino acid after reconstructing the intact protein.
