Reaction of a polypeptide, composed of 12 amino acids, with carboxypeptidase A releases Met (C-terminal amino acid). The polypeptide undergoes partial hydrolysis to give 12 groups of peptides. Use the groups of overlapping amino acids to determine the proper sequence of this polypeptide. Note: Since these lists of peptides are separated by commas, they are not necessarily in the proper sequence.
1. Ser, Lys, Trp
2. Gly, His, Ala
3. Glu, Val, Ser
4. Leu, Glu, Ser
5. Met, Ala, Gly
6. Ser, Lys, Val
7. Glu, His
8. Leu, Lys, Trp
9. Lys, Ser
10. Glu, His, Val
11. Trp, Leu, Glu
12. Ala, Met
