Dear Netters,
I am currently working on the secondary structure of a short peptide of
35 amino acids. It got 6 Cys and all are involved in disulphide bonds
i.e. 3 of them. I am trying to digest my peptide in the un-reduced form
in order to determine the location of the disulphides, however, none of
the enzymes I have used seems to work. These include Glu-C, Lys-C,
Chymotrypsin, Trypsin and Pepsin. Stringent denaturing treatment of the
peptide prior to digestion i.e. 8 M Urea or 6 M Guanidine-HCl proof to be
ineffective as well. Any suggestions on how I can get around this problem
and get my disulphide location will be most welcomed.
