Chapter 27, Problem 27.50P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formula for the product formed by the treatment of N-terminal amino group with Sanger’s reagent has to be written and the mechanism of the product formation has to be explained.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

When bovine insulin is treated with Sanger’s reagent followed by hydrolysis of all peptide bonds, two labelled amino acids Glycine and Phenylalanine are detected.  From this information, the conclusion drawn from the primary structure of bovine insulin has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Sanger’s reagent reacts with the N-terminal amino group of polypeptides and forms the aromatic substitution at the N-terminal.  On hydrolysis, the N-terminal amino acid is removed from the peptide chain.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural information obtained by Sanger’s reagent and by Edman degradation has to be compared and contrasted.

During the hydrolysis of proteins, some amino acids, such as tryptophan, do not survive the reaction conditions. Other amino acids, such as asparagine and glutamine, are modified. Referring to Table 1-7 (p. 39), which shows the structures of the 20 common amino acids, write the structures of the two amino acids that are formed when asparagine and glutamine decompose in hot, concentrated HCl.
Palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid with various pharmaceutical applications, is mainly obtained from macadamia nuts. The condensed structural formula for a triacylglycerol containing three palmitoleic acid units is provided below. Which of the following statements is NOT true regarding this triacylglycerol? O || CH,−O−C–(CH,)–CH=CH—(CH2)5–CH3 O || CH−O−C−(CH2)–CH=CH–(CH,)5–CH3 O CH,−O−C−(CH,)–CH=CH–(CH,)5–CH, O Its name is glyceryl tripalmitate or tripalmitin. O It is most likely to be liquid at room temperature. O It is an oil (not a fat). O It contains 3 molecules of the same unsaturated fatty acid.
