Abstract
The CNBr peptide .alpha.1(III)CB5 is 237 amino acid residues in length and occupies position 552-788 along the .alpha.1(III) chain. For sequence analysis .alpha.1(III)CB5 was fragmented with hydroxylamine, protease from Staphylococcus aureus V8, trypsin [EC 3.4.21.4] and the arginine-specific enzyme from mouse submaxillary gland. The peptides obtained were separated using molecular and ion exchange chromatography and sequenced with the automated Edman degradation procedure.
