The correct answer is:
A tetra-peptide is made of naturally occuring alanine serine glycine and valine.
It is given that -terminal amino acid is alanine and -terminal amino acid is chiral, thus glycine can't be -terminal amino acid as it is an achiral amino acid. Therefore possible sequence of tetra-peptide are as follows.
(i) Alanine, glycine, serine, valine
(ii) Alanine, glycine, valine, serine
(iii) Alanine, serine, glycine, valine
(iv) Alanine, valine, glycine, serine
Thus it can have possible sequences of the tetrapeptide.
