Question

A purified pepsin (protein containing several amino acids) isolated from bovine preparation was introduced in the amino acid analysis. It was seen that 0.43 g of lysine (mol. Wt = 146) was present in 100 g of pepsin. Therefore minimum molecular weight of pepsin approximately is :

Answer 1

A decontaminated pepsin ( the proteins containing a few amino acids) separated from bovine arrangement was presented in an amino acid detection. It was seen that 0.43 g of lysine (molar weight = 146) was available in 100 g of pepsin. In this way, it will have molecular mass of around 34000.
