The given protein contains two
polypeptide chains linked together by disulfide bonds.
Trypsin is a protease that cleaves at the C-terminal end of
positively charged amino acids such as Lysine and Arginine.
Lysine = K
Arginine = R
In the given peptide, there are two
arginines and two lysines. However, one lysine residue is followed
by Proline. So, it cannot be cleaved by trypsin.
Even after the proteolytic cleavage, the disulfide bond remains
intact (Under nonreducing conditions).
So, the number of fragments produced = 3
If disulfide bonds are reduced by
treatment with beta-mercaptoethanol,
The number of fragments produced = 5

please help me explain how to do this If the protein below were digested with trypsin,...
Please help me solve this genetics problem, my professor wasn't
able to explain it clearly!! Please give details on how to some
this problem.. Thanks
4. Mutation and effects The following protein fragments (amino acid sequences) were found. Wildtype (non-mutated) a. Knowing this information, what nucleotides could encode this protein fragment. Fill in the table using capital letters for nucleotides you know know for certain and lower case letters or the underscore for those you are unsure of -be as...
anyone can help me with it?
A protein biochemist attempted to determine the amino acid sequence of a decapeptide. Use the results from the trypsin, chymotrypsin, and cyanogen bromide treatments to suggest the amino acid sequence of this decapeptide. Trypsin digestion gave two fragments with multiple residues (not in order): • T1: Ala, Arg, Phe, Gly, Thr, Trp, Tyr • T2: Lys, Met, Val Chymotrypsin digestion gave four fragments with multiple residues (not in order): • CT1: Ala, Phe •...
Please explain, Thanks!

1. Partial hydrolysis of lysozyme yielded an octapeptide that was later identified as the N-terminal segment of the protein. From the following information, determine the sequence of this octapeptide. a. The following amino acids were identified after complete hydrolysis of the octapeptide: Arginine (Arg) Glycine (Gly) Phenylalanine (Phe) Cysteine (Cys) Leucine (Leu) Valine (Val) Glutamic Acid (Glu) Lysine (Lys) b. Treatment of the octapeptide with dinitroflurobenzene (Sanger reagent) followed by complete hydrolysis gave lysine (Lys) labeled with two dinitrophenyl (DNP) groups. c. Treatment of the octapeptide with trypsin gave lysine...

Exercise 4-determine the position of the disulfide bonds in the intact protein . Treatment of a small protein with 2-mercaptoethanol yields 2 polypeptides with the following sequences: o Y-K-C-F-R-H-T-K-C-S o A-V-C-R-T-G-C-K-N-F-L Treatment of the intact protein with trypsin yields fragments with the following amino acid compositions (note, these are no the sequences!) o (A,R,C,c.s,v) o (R,C,C,G,K.T.F o (N,L,F o (H,K,T) o (K,Y)
In part A, yes you should reconstitute the full-length protein
sequence from the fragments. However, you do not need to write out
the amino acid sequence - you can just provide the order of the
fragment numbers (from either set of fragments). For
example (and this is not the answer), you could say:
"Using the Pro-IAPP fragment set, starting from the N-terminus, the
fragment order is '5-4-6-3-2-1' " and that would fully address the
question.
In part B, the hint...
