Q40

Analysis of a hexapeptide using enzymatic cleavage reveals the following result: • Amino acid composition of the peptide is: 2R, A, V, S, Y • Trypsin digestion yields two fragments and the compositions are: (R, A, V) and (R, S, Y) • Chymotrypsin digestion yields two fragments and the compositions are: (A, R, V, Y) and (R, S) • Digestion with carboxypeptidase A yields no cleavage product. Given: Trypsin cleaves at carboxyl side of R. Chymotrypsin cleaves at carboxyl side of Y. Carboxypeptidase A cleaves at amino side of the C-terminal amino acid (except R and K) of the peptide. The correct amino acid sequence of the peptide is:
