I have been trying to figure this thing out. I saw a picture with I AM STARSTUFF written in amino acids, but the molecules themselves were represented by colored dots. I wanted to do it, but actually put the molecules onto it. However, I found that in Marvin Sketch, you could chain them together and the program would instantly do it for you. But I just want to make sure it is correct. Can anyone check this?

 

The chain is Ile-Ala-Met-Ser-Thr-Ala-Arg-Ser-Thr-Sec-Phe-Phe

 

I've tried, but I keep getting different answers, and it looks close to the original, but some things are extra.

Well, the atoms connectivity seems allright, but bond angles suck... The carbonyl carbons (the carbons from the C=O double bond) should have a trigonal plannar arrangement (120º angles).

 

You might have acces to the software ChemDraw, which has a function, Clear up structrue, that can do this job for you.

The C-terminus is missing the -COOH functionality.
