Ans 1 : Lys
Amino acids serve as the building blocks of the protein molecules in our body. Protein performs several vital functions in our body and hence amino acids are really important to us.
Lys stands for Lysine and it has the highest pka value amongst the other amino acids mentioned. It has a pka value of 10.5 and its isoelectronic pH (pI) is 9.74.

Be sure to answer all parts. An octapeptide contains the following amino acids: Ala, Pro, Gly, Asp, Trp, Lys, Leu, Met. Carboxypeptidase treatment of the octapeptide forms Asp and a heptapeptide. Treatment of the octapeptide with Chymotrypsin forms 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: Gly (octapeptide),Gly (A),Met (B), Gly (C), Leu(D).Partial hydrolysis of tetrapeptide B forms Met-Pro in addition...
Review| Constants| Periodic Table Protein structure is conceptually divided into four levels, from most basic to higher order Primary structure describes the order of amino acids in the peptide chain. Secondary structure describes the basic three-dimensional structures, a-helices and B sheets. Tertiary structure describes how the secondary structures come together to form an individual globular protein. Quatemary structure results from individual proteins coming together to form multi-subunit protein complexes Part A Complete the following vocabulary exercise relating to the level...
