A biochemist isolates a peptide hormone with the following sequence:

 

ADSERNCQLVILLAWLPGVKVQCALLDRET

 

(a) Indicte the residues that could contribute a positive charge.

(b) Which residues that could contribute a negative charge.

(c) List the residues that could be connected by a disulfide bond.

To be totally honest, I have absolutely no idea how to approach this question, and my textbook isn't very helpful. Can someone please explain (clearly, and thorougly as possible, please!) how I am supposed to figure out which residues contribute what charge from a sequence??
