AMINO-ACID SEQUENCES OF THE TRYPTIC PEPTIDES FROM CARBOXYMETHYLATED L-ASPARAGINASE FROM ESCHERICHIA-COLI

S-Carboxymethylated L-asparaginase was digested with trypsin and the resulting peptides were isolated by using gel filtration, ion exchange column chromatography and paper chromatography. Among the peptides thus isolated, 27 peptides were considered not to overlap and the sum of the amino acids from these 27 peptides is in good agreement with amino acid composition of the enzyme. The amino acid sequences of the peptides were determined by fragmentation with various enzymes and subtractive Edman degradation.
