Which method gives you information about the N-terminus end of a peptide?

A) Carboxypeptidase analysis
B) Chymotrypsis analysis
C) Edmund degradation
D) Cleavage of disulfide linkages

Edmund Degradation

Likely a mistyped or incorrect term; the correct term may be Edman Degradation, a method used for sequencing amino acids in a peptide.

N-terminus

The end of a protein or polypeptide chain that has a free amine group (-NH2).

  • Elucidate the methodology for acquiring amino acid sequence information from proteins and peptides.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Edman degradation is a method used to sequence amino acids in a peptide, starting from the N-terminus end. This process sequentially removes one residue at a time from the amino end for identification.
