A. Weller et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF NATURAL PEPTIDES FROM BOVINE TISSUE USING CAPILLARY ELECTROPHORESIS, HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY, MATRIX-ASSISTED LASER-DESORPTION IONIZATION, AND EDMAN DEGRADATION, Electrophoresis, 17(3), 1996, pp. 518-522
A combination of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and cap
illary electrophoresis (CE) spiking, Edman degradation, amino acid ana
lysis and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometr
y (MALDI-MS) was applied for the analysis of the primary structure of
beta-thymosins. CE has been used to resolve peaks which coelute on HPL
C, as well as to help establish the identity of tryptic fragments in t
he peptide mapping experiments of the two highly homologous beta-thymo
sins.
