Name (4 ofer to the Table of Amino Acids at the beginning of the exam to help solve this problem. Polypeptide I is a 12-mer and has the following amino acid composition: Ala, Arg, 2 His, Leu, 2 Lys, 2 Phe, Ser, Thr, Trp Edman degradation of I shows that its N-terminal amino acid is His. Chymotrypsin cleavage of I yields peptide fragments A-D.Trypsin cleavage of I gives peptide fragments E-G. Shown below is the amino...
