An octapeptide (Mol.wt `= 516 g`) on complete hydrolysis given glycine and alanine (Mol. Mass `= 89 g`). Alanine contributes `41.59 %` to total weight of hydrolysed product. How many number of alanine unit present in octapeptide.

Answer» Correct Answer - 3
Molecular weight of octapeptide is `516 g//"mole"`.
Total bonds to be hydrolysed `(8-1) =7`
Total weight of `H_(2)O` added `=7 xx 18 =126 gm/"mole"`
Total weight of hydrolysed product `= 126+516 = 642 gm`.

Aqueous solution of which of the following amino acids will be basic?A. SerineB. LysineC. LeucineD. Glutamine

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Because it is a basic amino acid, due to the presence of a basic site in its side chain:
`H_(2)N-underset((CH_(2))_(4)NH_(2))underset(|)overset(COOH)overset(|)(C)-H`
There are two possible dipolar structures for Lysine
`underset((I))underset(NH_(2))underset(|)(H_(3)overset(+)(N)(CH_(2))_(4))CHCOO^(-) " " underset((II))underset(.^(+)NH_(3))underset(|)(H_(2)N(CH_(2))_(4)C)HCOO^(-)`
The `-COO^(-)` group is electron - withdrawing and hence base-weakening. The more distant `in`-amino group is affected less, hence, it is more basic, and gets the proton. Thus, `(I)` is the actual sturcture for lysine.
