All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for freea.(S)-Penicillamine, an amino acid that does not occur in proteins, is used as a copper chelating agent to treat Wilson’s disease, an inherited defect in copper metabolism.
(R)-Penicillamine is toxic, sometimes causing blindness. Draw the structures of (R) and (S)-penicillamine.
b. What disulfide is formed from oxidation of L-penicillamine?
Draw the structure of the N-phenylthiohydantoin formed by initial Edman degradation of each peptide: (a) Ala-Gly-Phe-Phe; (b) Val-Ile-Tyr.

What steps are needed to convert A to L-dopa, an uncommon amino acid that is effective in treating Parkinson’s disease? These steps are the key reactions in the first commercial asymmetric synthesis using a chiral transition metal catalyst. This process was developed at Monsanto in 1974.
Besides the Boc and Fmoc protecting groups used in peptide synthesis, amines can also be protected by reaction with benzyl chloroformate. Draw the structure of the product formed by reaction of alanine with benzyl chloroformate.
