a)
Tripeptide D is the most negatively charged at pH 7.0 (ans).
b)
The nucleophilic amine group of an amino acid attacks 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene to give a complex. In case of the tripeptide, the DNP-tripeptide complex is obtained.
Upon acid hydrolysis, the tripeptide breaks down, producing the DNP-labelled N-terminal amino acid and unlabeled amino acids.
Since the free N-terminus of a tripeptide can react with 1-fluoro-2,4-dnitrobenzene to give the DNP-labelled amino acid, hence, tripeptide A will give DNP-tyrosine (since only tripeptide A has free N-terminus of the Tyrosine residue).
c)
Look up the structures of the amino acids in a text book or over the internet. Find out the amino acids which have non-polar hydrocarbon groups. Make a list.
The following amino acids have non-polar R groups: Valine, Leucine, Phenylalanine and Proline. Tripeptide E has Leu, Val and Phe and is the tripeptide with the maximum non-polar R groups.
d)
Methionine is a S-containing amino acid and hence, tripeptide A is the correct answer.
e)
Aromatic groups absorb strongly at 280 nm. Look for amino acids containing aromatic groups in the structure. These are: Tyr, Phe, Try and His.
Among these amino acids, Typ absorbs the strongest at 280 nm. Tripeptide C, containing both Tyr and Trp will absorb the strongest at 280 nm.
