Give the amino acid sequence of an octapeptide that contains the amino acids Tyr, Ala, Leu (2 equiv), Cys, Gly, Glu, and Val, and forms the following fragments when partially hydrolyzed with HCl: Val-Cys-Gly-Glu, Ala-Leu-Tyr, and Tyr-Leu-Val-Cys.

Give the amino acid sequence of hexapeptides that produce the following sets of fragments on partial acid hydrolysis: (a) Arg. Gly, lle, Leu, Pro, Val gives Pro-Leu-Gly, Arg-Pro, Gly-lle-Val (b) $\mathrm{N}, \mathrm{L}, \mathrm{M}, \mathrm{W}, \mathrm{V}_{2} \mathrm{g}$ ives $\mathrm{V}-\mathrm{L}, \mathrm{V}-\mathrm{M}-\mathrm{W}, \mathrm{W}-\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{V}$
Give the amino acid sequence of each peptide using the fragments obtained by partial hydrolysis of the peptide with acid. a. a tetrapeptide that contains Ala, Gly, His, and Tyr, which is hydrolyzed to the dipeptides His-Tyr, Gly-Ala, and Ala-His b. a pentapeptide that contains Glu, Gly, His, Lys, and Phe, which is hydrolyzed to His-Gly-Glu, Gly-Glu-Phe, and Lys-His
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.
