Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the peptides which have an amino-terminal acetyl group can undergo the Edman degradation or not is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The Edman degradation is a process to identify the amino acid sequence in a peptide. In this process, the residue of amino-terminal is labeled and cleaved from peptide and the other peptide bonds present between the other amino acid residues do not get disturbed.
The reaction is helpful for the
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the
Concept introduction:
In mass spectroscopy, compounds can be identified on the basis of mass of compound. When the compound breaks into fragment then they can be distinguished from the other compounds. This technique is also used to differentiate the isotopes of compounds. This technique did not interact with
