V-M-Y-Y-E-N This is the single-letter amino acid abbreviation for a peptide. Draw the structure of this peptide. What is the net charge of this peptide at pH 7.0 An enzyme called a protein tyrosine kinase can attach phosphates to the hydroxyl groups of tyrosine. What is the net charge of the peptide at pH 7.0 after it has been phosphorylated by a tyrosine kinase What is the likely source of phosphate utilized by the kinase for this reaction ... 

ChemSketch has some special-purpose building functions. The peptide builder creates a line structure from the protein sequence defined with the typical three-letter abbreviations. The carbohydrate builder creates a structure from a text string description of the molecule. The nucleic acid builder creates a structure from the typical one-letter abbreviations. There is a function to clean up the shape of the structure (i.e., make bond lengths equivalent). There is also a three-dimensional optimization routine, which uses a proprietary modification of the CHARMM force field. It is possible to set the molecule line drawing mode to obey the conventions of several different publishers.

Shaded areas represent the location of sequences of active peptide products which are normally cleaved by trypsin-like enzymes acting on double-basic amino acid residues. Precursors are not necessarily drawn to scale, (a) CRF precursor (b) proopiomelanocortin (POMC) (c) P-protachykinin (d) proenkephalin A (e) CGRP precursor (f) preprodynorphin, ie, preproenkephalin B. Terms are...

Draw the structure of the peptide formed from the reaction of the acid group of tyrosine with the amine group of glycine. 

A segment of a protein is analyzed and found to contain the amino acid sequence Glu-Lcu-Asp. Draw the Lewis structure of this segment, showing the peptide bonds. 

The primary structure of a polypeptide is its sequence of amino acids. It is customary to write primary structures of polypeptides using the three-letter abbreviation for each amino acid. By convention, the structure is written so that the amino acid on the left bears the terminal amino group of the polypeptide and the amino acid on the right bears the terminal carboxyl group. Figure 13-35 shows the two dipeptides that can be made from glycine and serine. Although they contain the same amino acids, they are different molecules whose chemical and physical properties differ. Example shows how to draw the primary stmcture of a peptide. 

Fig. 13. The binding sites of calcium in (a) parvalbumin (41a), (b) annexin (41) and (c) calmodulin (42). The drawings show two bidentate carboxylates coordinated to Ca2 in the EF-hand site of parvalbumin, and one bidentate carboxylate coordinated to Ca2 in annexin and calmodulin. All the donor atoms coordinated to the calciums are oxygen donor atoms from carboxylates of asp = aspartate, or glu = glutamate, or else peptide carbonyl oxygens from gly = glycine or met = methionine. Redrawn after Refs. (41-42).

Shapiro (2000) draws our attention to another type of problem the homopolymer problem in biogenesis. Many biogenesis hypotheses presuppose the spontaneous formation of polymeric organic replicators which were formed from a mixture of inorganic compounds these replicators consist of subunits of a known chemical species. Their structure involves a backbone which is bonded to information-transmitting residues. As we shall discuss in Sect. 6.7, not only RNA and DNA, but also proteins and peptide nucleic acids (PNA) have been suggested as possible information transmitters. Shapiro rightly considers that until now, not... 

Serum antibodies serve as a sink to draw the amyloid peptides from the brain into the circulation, thus changing the equilibrium of AP in different compartments and promoting removal of AP from the brain [82, 84, 85, 88].

The results suggest that the five-membered peptide chelate ring, in which the atoms are nearly coplanar, may be more subject to steric effects than is the case for the gauche conformation of chelate rings of ethylenediamine and its C-methyl derivatives. However, the corresponding nucleophilic displacement reactions have not been studied and it is too early to draw... 

It is too early to draw any conclusions about the insensitivity of the rate constants to the nature of the dipeptide. Differences among the peptides seem to be revealed more in the temperature dependencies of the rate constants for intramolecular electron transfer than in the magnitude of the rate constant itself. Work is in progress on the synthesis of other di-, tri-, and tetra-peptides separating Co(III) and Ru(II) in order to examine the temperature dependence of the intramolecular rate... 

Fig. 1. Schematic drawing of the polypeptide backbone of ribonuclease S (bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A cleaved by subtilisin between residues 20 and 21). Spiral ribbons represent a-helices and arrows represent strands of /3 sheet. The S peptide (residues 1-20) runs down across the back of the structure.

Fig. 38. Stereo drawing of the polypeptide backbone of high-potential iron protein. Tight turns are shown with their central peptide as a dark line. The box in the center represents the iron-sulfur cluster.

Figure 1 also contains a drawing of the electronic structure of plastocy-anin (Penfield et al., 1981, 1985), oriented according to the first part of Fig. 1. The d-orbital plane appears to be normal to the peptide plane that is extended by the hydrogen-bonding pair the it orbital of the thiolate would then also be affected, poising the cluster for electron transfer and, interestingly, apparently in the direction utilized by the multi-copper protein ascorbate oxidase (see Section V,A).

Pipet 0.5 pL of sample to the sample plate. Preferable concentration lpmol -pL Mix the sample and matrix2 by drawing in and out of the pipette. Allow to air dry and acquire spectra. aFor peptides, small proteins, and most other compounds a sat. soln of 2-cyano-3-(4-hydro-xyphenyl)acrylic acid in 0.1% TFA in H20/MeCN (1 1) is used. This matrix requires about half the laser energy of other matrices. 

The key feature which draws attention to these peptides in respect to food applications is their ability to inhibit undesirable organisms, either spoilage or pathogenic organisms. Although the peptides from eukaryotic sources appear far-removed from immediate application in foods, it is important to study their mechanism(s) of action in relation to those of lactic acid bacteria to better understand commonalities in structure-function Such commonalities may serve as a base from which to initiate molecular... 

Problem 21.22 Peptides are polyamides, like the product in Problem 21.15(e), Draw the structural formula for (a) a dipeptide, (h) a polypeptide unit of alanine (indicate the mer). 

Figure 2-5 Dimensions of the peptide linkage. Interatomic distances in nm, including the hydrogen bond length to an adjacent peptide linkage, are indicated. The atoms enclosed by the dotted lines all lie approximately in a plane. However, as indicated in the lower drawing, the nitrogen atom tends to retain some pyramidal character.
