Get started for freeTryptophan is not classified as a basic amino acid even though it has a heterocycle containing a nitrogen atom. Why is the N atom in the five-membered ring of tryptophan not readily protonated by acid?
Question: Draw the other three stereoisomers of L-isoleucine, and label the stereogenic centers as R or S.
Use the given experimental data to deduce the sequence of an octapeptide that contains the following amino acids: Ala, Gly (2 equiv), His (2 equiv), Ile, Leu and Phe. Edman degradation cleaves Gly from the octapeptide, and carboxypeptidase forms Leu and a heptapeptide. Partial hydrolysis forms the following fragments: Ile-His-Leu, Gly, Gly-Ala-Phe-His, and Phe-His-Ile.
Besides asymmetric hydrogenation (Section 29.4), several other methods are now available for the synthesis of optically active amino acids. How might a reaction like the Strecker synthesis be adapted to the preparation of chiral amino acids?
Name each peptide using both the three-letter and one-letter abbreviations of the component amino acids.
