You have to determine the amino acid sequence of a peptide. You perform the following steps using enzyme cleavage of your peptide (see table below):

Step 1: Treatment with trypsin yields three fragments with the following sequences (in the order of their length): Trp-Gly-Ala , Ala-Gly-Thr-Lys, Tyr-Leu-Asp-Arg.
Step 2: Treatment with chymotrypsin gave the following three peptide fragments: Gly- Ala, Leu-Asp-Arg-Trp, Ala-Gly-Thr-Lys-Tyr. What is the sequence of your peptide?
A: Ala-Gly-Thr-Lys-Tyr- Leu-Asp-Arg-Trp- Gly-Ala
B: Gly-Ala- Leu-Asp-Arg-Trp- Ala-Gly-Thr-Lys-Tyr
C: Trp-Gly-Ala- Ala-Gly-Thr-Lys-Tyr-Leu-Asp-Arg
D: Tyr-Leu-Asp-Arg- Ala-Gly-Thr-Lys- Trp-Gly-Ala

The answer is: A
