Chemical Cleavage of Proteins/Peptides

[Wen-Yen Kao]

Hi Angie,

Why are you trying a chemical instead of a enzymatic cleavage? A still
good, practical guideline for lots of proteolytic methods is G. Allens
"Sequencing of proteins and peptides" in laboratory techniques. Though
I've never done any myself I've heard about Trp-cleavages using
o-iodosobenzoic acid that they consistently gave low yield peptide
products.

Good luck,

                            Thomas
