Determining the Primary Structure of a Protein
REFLECT AND APPLY Which enzymes or chemicals would you choose to use to cut the protein from Question? Why?
Question
REFLECT AND APPLY Assume that you are getting ready to do an amino acid sequencing experiment on a protein containing 100 amino acids, and amino acid analysis shows the following data:
Amino Acid | Number of Residues |
Ala | 7 |
Arg | 23.7 |
Asn | 5.6 |
Asp | 4.1 |
Cys | 4.7 |
Gln | 4.5 |
Glu | 2.2 |
Gly | 3.7 |
His | 3.7 |
Ile | 1.1 |
Leu | 1.7 |
Lys | 11.4 |
Met | 0 |
Phe | 2.4 |
Pro | 4.5 |
Ser | 8.2 |
Thr | 4.7 |
Trp | 0 |
Tyr | 2.0 |
Val | 5.1 |
