Name (4 ofer to the Table of Amino Acids at the beginning of the exam to help solve this problem. Polypeptide I is a 12-mer and has the following amino acid composition: Ala, Arg, 2 His, Leu, 2 Lys, 2 Phe, Ser, Thr, Trp Edman degradation of I shows that its N-terminal amino acid is His. Chymotrypsin cleavage of I yields peptide fragments A-D.Trypsin cleavage of I gives peptide fragments E-G. Shown below is the amino...

In the linear polymers of amino acids, the 42 group of one amino acid is linked to the 43 group of another amino acid. 44 is the order in which the amino acids are covalently linked together through the peptide bond. The secondary (2) structure of proteins is the 45_ of the polypeptide chain backbone. C. Short Answer (12%)
1. The actual substitution of the methoxy group in methyl salicylate with the hydroxyl group in salicylic acid requires one hydroxide ion, but in all actuality, a minimum of two equivalents of hydroxide ion are required for every one equivalent of the ester in order to achieve the theoretical yield. Explain why. 2.Why does the addition of sulfuric acid to the crude reaction mixture result in the precipitation of the product? Write a balanced reaction equation showing the chemistry that...
