Sequence determination of eglin C using combined microtechniques of amino acid analysis, peptide isolation, and automatic Edman degradation. 1983

R Knecht, and U Seemüller, and M Liersch, and H Fritz, and D G Braun, and J Y Chang

The complete amino acid sequence of a proteinase inhibitor, eglin c (Mr 8100), has been determined with less than 150 micrograms of the protein using the following microtechniques: (a) amino acid analysis with a low-nanogram amount of protein hydrolysate using dimethylaminoazobenzene sulfonyl chloride, (b) peptide isolation at the picomole level using the dimethylaminoazobenzene isothiocyanate (DABITC) precolumn derivatization method, and (c) automatic Edman degradation. One amino acid residue has been corrected for the previously reported sequence. The Contribution of each technique to the microsequencing is discussed. In addition, a new high-performance liquid chromatography system that gives a complete baseline separation of all phenylthiohydantoin-amino acids is described.
