Concept explainers
To identify: The protease that cleaves the given peptide to more fragments.
Concept introduction: Proteins are made up of one or more amino acids linked together to form a chain. The building blocks of protein are called amino acids. The eight essential amino acids are lysine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, histidine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, threonine, and valine. Amino acids are termed as residues if they release a hydrogen ion from the
Given: The given peptide sequence is NMTQGRCKPVNTFVHEPLVDVQNVCFKE.
To identify: The protease that cleaves the given peptide to less number of fragments.
Concept introduction: Proteins are made up of one or more amino acids linked together to form a chain. The building blocks of protein are called amino acids. The eight essential amino acids are lysine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, histidine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, threonine, and valine. Amino acids are termed as residues if they release a hydrogen ion from the amine end or a hydroxyl ion from the carboxyl end or both; a water molecule is released as a result of the formation of each amide bond.
Given: The given peptide sequence is NMTQGRCKPVNTFVHEPLVDVQNVCFKE.
