1. Treating (DP) with Flouro Dinitro benzene (FDNB), followed by hydrolysis resulted in the release of composing amino acids with none being modified by DNFB. This is because A. FDNB interacts only with free SH of Cys if present at N or C terminals, suggesting no Cys is present B. FDNB will interact with the Carboxy -terminal of DP provided it is basic amino acid C. FDNB modified DP but failed to release the amino acid D. FDNB could not modify DP suggesting it has no free amino terminal

CASE - 2
On his way back home, MORK from ORK landed on earth after a trip in space to MARS. You were able to
sneak into his space ship and steal a tube labeled decapeptide (DP). Thinking it may be an important
molecule, you started by initially identifying the sequence of the DP.

4. Treatment of the DP with chymotrypsin followed by trypsin released the following:
- Dipeptide with ala at the N terminal,
- Free lys,
- A dipeptide with aa that may be labeled using DTNB at its N terminal
- A pentapeptide that is cleavable by CNBR yielding: 1) a tripeptide that has 2 leu residues; 2) dipeptide
with ala at its N terminal.
Assuming that aa composing the DP are: Phe, 2 ala, 2 leu, 2 sulfur containing aa, and 3 basic amino
acids, which of the following presents the proper sequence of the DP after chymotrypsin treatment
A. phe-ala-cys-lys-arg-arg-met-ala-leu-leu
B. ala- lys-cys-lys-his-met-leu-leu -ala-phe

A. Dimer of DP linked by electrostatic bridges between the C/N terminals
B. Dimer of 2 DP linked by disulfide bridges
C. Cyclic peptide
