Natural proteins are composed primarily of 20 α-amino acids. Which one of the following statements is true for any of these amino acids in a solution of pH 1.5?
Analysis of a hexapeptide using enzymatic cleavage reveals the following result:
• Amino acid composition of the peptide is: 2R, A, V, S, Y
• Trypsin digestion yields two fragments and the compositions are: (R, A, V) and (R, S, Y)
• Chymotrypsin digestion yields two fragments and the compositions are: (A, R, V, Y) and (R, S)
• Digestion with carboxypeptidase A yields no cleavage product.
Given: Trypsin cleaves at carboxyl side of R. Chymotrypsin cleaves at carboxyl side of Y. Carboxypeptidase A cleaves at amino side of the C-terminal amino acid (except R and K) of the peptide.
The correct amino acid sequence of the peptide is:
