Question

Which tripeptide has a more readily cleaved C-terminal peptide bond by Carboxypeptidase A and why? Gly-Val-Glu or Gly-Val-Leu

Accepted Answer

Gly-Val-Leu has a more readily cleaved C-terminal peptide bond by Carboxypeptidase A because Leu has a nonpolar substituent.

Answer

Gly-Val-Leu has a more readily cleaved C-terminal peptide bond by Carboxypeptidase A because Gly has a nonpolar substituent.

Answer

Gly-Val-Glu has a more readily cleaved C-terminal peptide bond by Carboxypeptidase A because Gly has a polar substituent.

Answer

Gly-Val-Glu has a more readily cleaved C-terminal peptide bond by Carboxypeptidase A because Glu has a polar substituent.
