You perform mass spectrometry on trypsin-digested peptides of 1g protein.
a) One of the detected peptide ions has a +1 charge and an m/z ratio of 1267.78. What is the mass of this peptide in daltons?
b) One of the other peptides ions has a +2 charge and an m/z ratio of 943.62. What is the mass of this peptide in daltons.

  • Protein Sequence Prediction

    The answer cannot be A as the trypsin would have digested after the middle K The answer cannot be B as the trypsin would not leave a proline at the N-teminus The answer cannot be D as the trypsin would have digested after the first R.

  • Enzymes that aid in Digestion

    You have many different types because they each only break a protein at a specific point (like after 1 specific amino acid, or only from the end of the protein chain).

  • Pepsinogen and Trypsinogen Released

    The enterokinase enzymes are made at the brush border of the microvilli. When trypsinogen arrives in the lumen of the small intestine, enterokinase enzymes cleave it and active it, turning it into trypsin.

  • Scientific Experiment Report

    Then the absorbance of the digested proteins can be measured at 280nm, and compared against the absorbance of a blank.

  • Microtubule Assembly

    IN TABLE 1, ON PAGE 1860, THE RESULTS SHOWED NO MICROTUBULE ASSEMBLY IN THE PRESENCE OF TRYPSIN. IN THE TEXT, THE RESEARCHERS STATE THAT BECAUSE OF THIS RESULT THE TAU FACTOR MUST BE A PROTEIN.

  • Digestive Enzymes



    Hence, at the level of the small intestines, the protein(steak) and the carbohydrates( baked potato)have been completely digested.
