Question
Chapter 2, Problem 28P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structures of myoglobin and hemoglobin needs to be compared based on the hydrophilic and hydrophobic residues present in them.
Concept introduction:
The myoglobin polypeptide (single) has 153 amino acid residues that fold to form 8 right handed alpha-helices joined by non-helical regions.
Hemoglobin contains four polypeptide chains folded into two alpha chains made up of 144 residues and two beta chains made up of 146 residues.

Peptide mass determination. You have isolated a proteinfrom the bacterium E. coli and seek to confirm its identityby trypsin digestion and mass spectrometry. Determinationof the masses of several peptide fragments has enabled youto deduce the identity of the protein. However, there is adiscrepancy with one of the peptide fragments, whichyou believe should have the sequence MLNSFK and an(M 1 H)1 value of 739.38. In your experiments, yourepeat edly obtain an (M 1 H)1 value of 767.38. What isthe cause of this discrepancy and what does it tell youabout the region of the protein from which this peptide isderived?
