A sample of an unknown peptide was divided into
two aliquots. One aliquot was treated with trypsin;
the other was treated with cyanogen bromide.
Given the following sequences (N-terminal to C-
terminal) of the resulting fragments, deduce the
sequence of the original peptide.
Trypsin treatment
Asn-Thr-Trp-Met-lle-Lys
Gly-Tyr-Met-Gin-Phe
Val-Leu-Gly-Met-Ser-Arg
Cyanogen bromide treatment
Gin-Phe
Val-Leu-Gly-Met
lle-Lys-Gly-Tyr-Met
Ser-Arg-Asn-Thr-Trp-Met
Explain why the pKa of the - NH3+ group of an a-amino acid is lower than the pKa of the ammonium ion derived from a 1° amine (RNH3+). For example the pKa of the - NH3+ group of alanine is 9.87 but the pKa of CH3NH3+ is 10.63.
Calculate the isoelectric point for each amino acid.a. cysteine: pKa (COOH) = 2.05; pKa (a-NH3+) = 10.25b. methionine: pKa (COOH) = 2.28; pKa (a-NH3+) = 9.21
