After breaking the disufide bridges in a polypeptide, it is found to have two polypeptide chains with the following primary sequences:

Val-Met-Tyr-Ala-Cys-Ser-Phe-Ala Glu-Ser

Ser-Cys-Phe-Lys-Cys-Trp-Lys-Tyr-Cys-Phe-Arg-Cys-Ser

Treatment of the original intact polypeptide with chymotrypsin yields the following peptides:

a. Ala, Glu, Ser

b. 2 Phe, 2 Cys, Ser

c. Tyr, Val, Met

d. Arg, Ser, Cys

e. Ser, Phe, 2 Cys, Lys, Ala, Trp

f. Tyr, Lys Determine the positions of the disulfide bridges in the original polypeptide.
