  1. Thymopentin is a synthetic pentapeptide which is the active site of the naturally occurring hormone thymopoietin with immunomodulating properties. Thymopentin enhances the production of thymic T cells and may help restore immunocompetence in immunosuppressed subjects. This agent also augments the effects of ionizing radiation by arresting cancer cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Below is the molecular structure for thymopentin. Please list, in order from N-terminal to C-terminal, the amino-acid residues that make up Thymopentin. (10 points).

Arg – Lys – Asp – Val - Tyr
