Question

A decapeptide (mol. Wt. 796) on complete hydrolysis gives glycine (mol. Wt. 75), alanine and phenylalanine. Glycine contributes 47.0% to the total weight tto the hydrolysed products. The number of glycine units present in the decapeptide is : [jee 2011]

Answer 1

Answer:

Here,

Molecular Wt. of glycine = 75

% of glycine = 47.0%

Therefore,

No. of unit of glycine = 47/75

= 0.62
