Large Molecules Problem Set
Problem 12: Sequence of a longer polypeptide
A polypeptide 10 amino acids long is split into various smaller fragments, and the amino acid sequences of some of the fragments are determined. The identified fragments include: ala-gly-ser-gln, lys-trp-arg-pro, gln-his-lys, asp-ala-gly. What is the primary sequence of the polypeptide?
A. ala-gly-ser-gln-lys-trp-arg-pro-gln-his
B. asp-ala-gly-ser-gln-his-lys-trp-arg-pro
The four fragments have been assembled into the correct sequence.
C. ala-gly-ser-gln-his-lys-trp-arg-pro-asp
D. lys-trp-arg-pro-gln-his-lys-asp-ala-gly
E. none of these
