Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following techniques is commonly used to determine the sequence of amino acids in a peptide?
  • Step 1: Understand that peptides are made up of amino acids linked together in a specific order.
  • Step 2: Know that determining the sequence of these amino acids is important for understanding the peptide's function.
  • Step 3: Learn about mass spectrometry, which is a technique that can measure the mass of molecules.
  • Step 4: Realize that mass spectrometry can be used to analyze peptides by breaking them into smaller pieces and measuring their mass.
  • Step 5: Understand that by analyzing the mass of these pieces, scientists can deduce the sequence of amino acids in the peptide.
