I need help, with this Bio chemistry problem. Please explain...
Bovine Insulin 1. Treatment with FDNB 2. Acid hydrolysis 3. Oxidation of cysteines 4. Paper Electrophoresis: Results: Sanger found three DNP-amino acids: DNP - glycine, DNP-phenylalanine, and E-DNP lysine. He concluded that bovine insulin has two polypeptide chains, one with Gly at its aminoterminus and one with Phe at its amino terminus. One of the chains contains the ε-DNP lysine, not at the amino - terminus. a) Explain how Sanger's result support his conclusions. b) Are the results consistent with the known structure of insulin ?
