Chapter 26, Problem 39P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The sites of cleavage during the trypsin catalyzed and the chymotrypsin catalyzed hydrolysis of the given protein are to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Hydrolysis of the peptide bonds with the help of enzymes is selective.

Trypsin is a digestive enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the peptide bonds that involve the carboxyl group of arginine or lysine residue.

Chymotrypsin catalyzes the hydrolysis of the peptide bonds which involve the carboxyl group of amino acids having an aromatic side chain.

There are three such amino acids – phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan.

Chorismate mutase is an enzyme that promotes a pericyclic reaction by forcing the substrate to assume the conformation needed for the reaction. The product of the pericyclic reaction is prephenate that is subsequently converted into the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine. What kind of a pericyclic reaction does chorismate mutase catalyze?
Many peptides react further after synthesis (process is called post-translational modification). In this example a cysteine cyclizes to form a thiazole ring in Sanguinamide A. O= HN HN" SH -H₂O o= HN" 0= 0= N₂ S HN Sanguinamide A
