Question 5
A mass spectrometer generates the following spectrum for the peptide " HEQN".
0 114 126 128 129 137 242 251 266 372 379 380 394 508
The figure given below depicts the mass of all amino acids.
| G | A | S | P | V | T | C | I | L | N | D | K | Q | E | M | H | F | R | Y | W |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 57 | 71 | 87 | 97 | 99 | 101 | 103 | 113 | 113 | 114 | 115 | 128 | 128 | 129 | 131 | 137 | 147 | 156 | 163 | 186 |
The criteria to trim peptides in the leaderboard based cyclopeptide sequencing algorithm is modified as follows:
"Suppose the algorithm is considering the peptide . Let the number of elements in the theoretical spectrum of be . If , then the peptide is trimmed".
Which of the following peptides will be trimmed?
HE
NE
ENQ
EQT
None of these
