A nonapeptide was determined to have the following amino acid com
position: (Lys)2, (Gly) 2, (Phe) 2, His, Leu, Met. The native peptide was incubated with 1-
fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (FDNB) and then hydrolyzed; 2,4-dinitrophenylhistidine was
identified by HPLC. When the native peptide was exposed to cyanogen bromide(CNBr), an
octapeptide and free glycine were recovered. Incubation of the native peptide with trypsin gave a
pentapeptide, a tripeptide, and free Lys. 2,4-Dinitrophenyl-histidine was recovered from the
pentapeptide, and 2,4-dinitrophenylphenylalanine was recovered
from the tripeptide. Digestion with the enzyme pepsin produced a dipeptide, a tripeptide, and a
tetrapeptide. The tetrapeptide was composed of (Lys) 2, Phe, and Gly. The native sequence was
determined to be - CORRECT ANSWER - His-Leu-Phe-Gly-Lys-Lys-Phe-Met-Gly
