Which oligopeptides? Use the first letter of your last name to determine which oligopeptides you’ll be drawing:
- A-E: Gly-Ser-Ile and Lys-Ala-Arg-Glu-His
- F-J: Met-Gln-Ala and Trp-Gly-Leu-Cys-Pro
- K-O: Phe-Leu-Lys and Met-Gln-Ser-Gly-Cys
- P-T: Glu-Tyr-Ser and Thr-Arg-Phe-Lys-Gly
- U-Z: Cys-Ala-Thr and Tyr-Asn-Pro-Gly-Arg
