Vasopressin, a nonapeptide hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, functions by stimulating the kidney to retain water. Its sequence was determined by the following evidence: 1. Vasopressin is a cyclic compound containing a disulfide bridge between two cysteine residues. 2. When the disulfide bridge is reduced, vasopressin has the constitution Arg, Asn, Cys2, Gln, Gly, Ile, Phe, Pro. 3. Partial hydrolysis of vasopressin yields seven fragments: Asp-Cys, Ile-Glu, Cys-Phe, Arg-Gly, Phe-Ile-Glu, Glu-Asp-Cys, Cys-Pro-Arg. 4. Gly is the C-terminal group. 5....

On your internship, you visit the Mass Spectrometry Lab. Mass spectrometry can identify short peptide fragments based on their molecular weights. Your fellow intern Jerry has neglected to label his tubes of amyloid beta peptide 42 after digesting them with some proteases that we learned about in Module 6: pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin. Help him figure out what protease is in each tube. Jerry’s supervisor has the fragments listed in the same order as the original peptide primary sequence, which...

What two restriction enzymes could you use if you wanted to
produce a protein that was fused to a GST-tag that could be removed
using thrombin? Would this experimental design place any other tags
on your protein?
