Pro-Enkephalin: A Novel New Biomarker for Assessment of Kidney Function, Early Prediction and Identification of Acute Kidney Injury

SOLVED:Examine the structure of the enkephalin whose sequence is shown below and estimate its isoionic point. Ala-Gly-Phe-Leu-Gly

Sequence Determination of the Brain Peptide Leucine Enkephalin A group of peptides that influence nerve transmission in certain parts of the brain has been isolated from normal brain tissue. These peptides are known as opioids, because they bind to specific receptors that also bind opiate drugs, such as morphine and naloxone. Opioids thus mimic some of the properties of opiates. Some researchers consider these peptides to be the brain's own pain killers. Using the information below, determine th
