An octapeptide contains the following amino acids: Arg, Glu, His, Ile, Leu, Phe, Tyr, and Val. Carboxypeptidase treatment of the octapeptide forms Phe and a heptapeptide. Treatment of the octapeptide with chymotrypsin forms two tetrapeptides, A and B. Treatment of A with trypsin yields two dipeptides, C and D. Edman degradation cleaves the following amino acids from each peptide: Glu (octapeptide), Glu (A), Ile (B), Glu (C), and Val (D). Partial hydrolysis of tetrapeptide B forms Ile–Leu in addition to other products. Deduce the structure of the octapeptide and fragments A–D.
A biochemist completely digests a glycerophospholipid with a mixture of phospholipases A and D. HPLC and mass
spectrometry analysis reveals the presence of an amino acid of 105,09 Da, a saturated fatty acid of 256.43 Da, and an omega-3
monounsaturated fatty acid of 282.45 Da.
Which amino acid does the glycerophospholipid contain?
O valine (C,H, NO,)
O alanine (C, H,NO,)
O scrine (C,H,NO,)
O proline (C,H,NO,)

но
Cholesterol
(a) Cholesterol is a steroid that contains a tetracyclic ring system.
(b) Cholesterol is a steroid that contains 8 chiral carbons and can form 28 or 256 stereoisomers.
(c) Each atom or group attached to a ring-junction carbon (i.e., carbons a -e) is in a trans or axial
position. Because of this the tetracyclic ring system is mostly flat.
(d) Cholesterol is used to synthesized vitamin D, bile acids, sex hormones, and adrenocorticoid
hormones.
(e) Cholesterol is not found in the cell membranes of animals.
