The correct Answer is:
To determine the name of salmine, we need to analyze the information provided about its amino acid composition and molecular weight. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how to arrive at the answer: ### Step 1: Identify the Source of Salmine Salmine is a polypeptide derived from salmon, specifically from the sperm of the salmon fish. This is important as it gives context to the name. **Hint:** Remember that many proteins and polypeptides are named after their source or function. ### Step 2: List the Amino Acids Present From the hydrolysis products, we have the following amino acids and their respective weights: - Isoleucine: 1.31 g - Alanine: 0.89 g - Serine: 7.35 g - Arginine: 86.40 g - Valine: 3.51 g - Glycine: 3.0 g - Proline: 6.90 g **Hint:** Make sure to note the weights as they can indicate the abundance of each amino acid in the polypeptide. ### Step 3: Determine the Molecular Weights of the Amino Acids The molecular weights of the amino acids are provided: - Isoleucine: 131 g/mol - Alanine: 89 g/mol - Serine: 105 g/mol - Arginine: 174 g/mol - Valine: 117 g/mol - Glycine: 75 g/mol - Proline: 115 g/mol **Hint:** Knowing the molecular weights helps in understanding the composition and structure of the polypeptide. ### Step 4: Calculate the Total Molecular Weight of Salmine The total molecular weight of salmine is given as 10,966 g/mol. This can be used to verify the composition if needed. **Hint:** The total weight can be calculated by summing the contributions of each amino acid based on their weights and molecular weights. ### Step 5: Identify the Common Name for Salmine Salmine is known to be a type of protein found in salmon. Specifically, it is often referred to as "salmine" which is derived from the Latin word for salmon. **Hint:** Consider the naming conventions in biochemistry, where proteins are often named after their source or function. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis, salmine is known as "salmine" and is derived from salmon. ### Final Answer Salmine is also known as "salmine," a polypeptide obtained from the sperm of salmon fish.
