The disulphide linkages of the 16 half-cystine residues in the sweet-tasting protein thaumatin have been investigated by enzymatic hydrolysis of the intact molecule. The peptides obtained after proteolytic cleavage with trypsin and pepsin, and in one case with chymotrypsin have been purified by gel filtration, high-performance liquid chromatography and peptide mapping by paper high-voltage electrophoresis in one direction and paper chromatography in the second dimension. Disulphide bonds appeared to be formed by cysteine residues in positions 9-204, 56-66, 71-77, 121-193, 126-177, 134-149, 145-158 and 159-164. The labile disulphide bond responsible for the enzymatic properties of the sweet tasting protein thaumatin appeared to be between Cys-145 and Cys-158.
