Hi this problem is killing me, I know the C and N terminus from the information provided but actually figuring out the sequence is proving a bit difficult.
A nonapeptide was determined to have the following amino acid composition: (Lys)2, (Gly) 2, (Phe) 2, His, Leu, Met. The native peptide was incubated with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (FDNB) and then hydrolyzed; 2,4-dinitrophenylhistidine was identified by HPLC. When the native peptide was exposed to cyanogen bromide (CNBr), an octapeptide and free glycine were recovered. Incubation of the native peptide with trypsin gave a pentapeptide, a tripeptide, and free Lys. 2,4-Dinitrophenyl-histidine was recovered from the pentapeptide, and 2,4-dinitrophenylphenylalanine was recovered from the tripeptide. Digestion with the enzyme chymotrypsin produced a dipeptide, a tripeptide, and a tetrapeptide. The tetrapeptide was composed of (Lys) 2, Phe, and Gly.
23. What is the sequence of the peptide?
A) His–Phe–Lys–Lys–Gly–Leu–Met–Gly–Phe.
B) His–Leu–Gly–Lys–Lys–Phe–Phe–Met-Gly.
C) His–Leu–Phe–Gly–Lys–Lys–Phe–Met–Gly.
D) His–Phe–Leu–Gly–Lys–Lys–Phe–Met–Gly.
E) Met–Leu–Phe–Lys–Phe–Gly–Gly–Lys–His.
Obviously has to be either B,C or D
