Complete hydrolysis of a hexapeptide gives 2 Gly, Leu, Phe, Pro, and Tyr. Reaction of the peptide with phenylisothiocyanate gave the phenylthiohydantoin of Pro. Partial hydrolysis of the peptide gave the following fragments: Phe-Gly-Tyr, Gly-Phe-Gly, Pro-Leu-Gly, Leu-Gly-Phe. What is the structure of the peptide

Answer:

The complete sequence : Pro-Leu-Gly-Phe-Gly-Tyr

Step-by-step explanation:

For the formation of phenylisothiocyanate, the four peptide sequences overlap common residue to get the the complete sequence of the hexapeptide as shown in the diagram attached below

Attached below is the structure of the peptide
