Chemistry

A sample of a peptide of unknown sequence was treated withtrypsin; another sample of the same peptide was treated withchymotrypsin.

The sequences (N-terminal to C-terminal) of the smaller peptidesproduced by trypsin digestion were as follows:

Cys—Thr—Ala—Ser—Ile—Lys

Arg—Thr—Arg—Gln—Arg

Gln—Phe—Ala—Val—Tyr—Asn—Lys

Phe—His—Cys—Asn

The sequences of the smaller peptides produced by chymotrypsindigestion were as follows:

Asn—Lys—Cys—Thr—Ala—Ser—Ile—Lys—Phe

Arg—Thr—Arg—Gln—Arg—Gln—Phe

His—Cys—Asn

Ala—Val—Ty
