- For the tripeptide GlyAlaCys a. What amino acid is located at the peptides N-terminal end? b. What amino acid is located at the peptides C-terminal end? c. How many peptide bonds are present? d. How many amide linkages are present?arrow_forwardA chemically modified guanidino group is present in cimetidine (Tagamet), a widely prescribed drug for the control of gastric acidity and peptic ulcers. Cimetidine reduces gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the interaction of histamine with gastric H2 receptors. In the development of this drug, a cyano group was added to the substituted guanidino group to alter its basicity. Do you expect this modified guanidino group to be more basic or less basic than the guanidino group of arginine? Explain.arrow_forwardFor the tripeptide SerValMet a.

- 22-47 How many different tetrapeptides can be made (a) if the peptides contain the residues of asparagine, proline, serine, and metbionine and (b) if all 20 amino acids can be used?arrow_forwardA 1.00-mg sample of a pure protein yielded on hydrolysis 0.0165 mg of leucine and 0.0248 mg of isoleucine. What is the minimum possible molar mass of the protein? (MMleucine=MMisoleucine=131g/mol)arrow_forwardGlycine is a diprotic acid, which can potentially undergo two dissociation reactions, one for the a-amino group (-NH3), and the other for the carboxyl (-COOH) group. Therefore, it has two pKą values. The carboxyl group has a pK₁ of 2.34 and the a-amino group has a pK₂ of 9.60. Glycine can exist in fully deprotonated (NH₂-CH₂-COO-), fully protonated (NH3-CH₂-COOH), or zwitterionic form (NH3-CH₂-COO-). Match the pH values with the corresponding form of glycine that would be present in the highest concentration in a solution of th pH. fully deprotonated form NH,−CH,−COO- pH 11.9 pH 6.0 pH 8.0 fully protonated form NH3-CH₂-COOH pH 1.0 Answer Bank pH 7.0 zwitterionic form NH3-CH₂-COO-arrow_forward
- Hydrolysis of decapeptide P with the enzyme trypsin affords the following fragments: Gly-Asp, Ala-Cys-Lys, Leu-Trp- Val-Gly-Arg. Hydrolysis with chymotrypsin yields: Leu-Trp, Val-Gly-Arg-Ala-Cys-Lys-Gly-Asp.
