Explore the methods for separating, analyzing, and synthesizing polypeptides, including ion exchange chromatography, cleavage of disulfide bridges, Edman degradation, and solid-phase peptide synthesis. This practical guide covers various techniques from Ninhydrin tests to carboxypeptidases cleavage, providing insights for researchers and students.
E N D
pI = (pk1 + pk2)/2, the pH where the molecule has a net charge of 0
Step 1. Separation of Polypeptide Chains dissociated by exposure to pH extremes, 8 M urea, 6 M guanidinium hydrochloride, or high salt cencentrations
Edman degradation phenylisothiocyanate 50 cycles of reaction can be accomplished on 50 pmol (about 0.1 mg)
Carboxypeptidases cleave amino acid residues from the C-termini
