Oa. Mirgorodskaya et al., PRIMARY STRUCTURE OF 3 CATIONIC PEPTIDES FROM PORCINE NEUTROPHILS - SEQUENCE DETERMINATION BY THE COMBINED USAGE OF ELECTROSPRAY-IONIZATIONMASS-SPECTROMETRY AND EDMAN DEGRADATION, FEBS letters, 330(3), 1993, pp. 339-342
The primary structure of three major cationic peptides from porcine ne
utrophils has been determined. The sequencing was made by the combined
use of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and Edman degradatio
n. The determined sequences unambiguously show that these peptides can
not be considered as defensins.
