(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of tryptophylglycylisoleucylaspartic acid is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The chemical compounds in which carbon is bonded with the acidic and basic group along with hydrocarbon side chain are known as amino acids. The amino acids are classified into acidic, basic, polar, non-polar, essential, and non-essential categories. The three-word abbreviation or one-word abbreviation is used for amino acids.
Answer to Problem 27.1P
The structure of tryptophylglycylisoleucylaspartic acid is shown below.
Explanation of Solution
The name of the peptide is triptophylglycylisoleucylaspartic acid.
This peptide is made up of four amino acids which are linked by peptide bonds. The amino acids are tryptophan, glycine, isoleucine, and aspartic acid.
The structures of triptophane, glycine, isoleucine, and aspartic acid are shown below.

Organic Chemistry
- On complete hydrolysis, a polypeptide gives two alanine, one leucine, one methionine, one phenylalanine, and one valine residue. Partial hydrolysis gives the following fragments: Ala-Phe, Leu-Met, Val-Ala, Phe-Leu. It is known that the first amino acid in the sequence is valine and the last one is methionine. What is the complete sequence of amino acids?arrow_forward22-42 (a) How many atoms of the peptide bond lie in the same plane?

- What special role does the amino acid cysteine have in the peptides vasopressin and oxytocin?arrow_forwardA chemically modified guanidino group is present in cimetidine (Tagamet), a widely prescribed drug for the control of gastric acidity and peptic ulcers. Cimetidine reduces gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the interaction of histamine with gastric H2 receptors. In the development of this drug, a cyano group was added to the substituted guanidino group to alter its basicity. Do you expect this modified guanidino group to be more basic or less basic than the guanidino group of arginine?
