You will have big problems with this strategy.  By the time you finish
with all your steps you will have lost  or destroyed your protein.
First you should run the gel and cut out your band 
2)trypsinize your sample in the gel.
3)sample can now be applied to a MS sequencer and the fragments can be
IDentified.


Go to the Lybrary and get
Annalytical Biochemistry @@$, 75-82 (1995)
Internal sequences from proteins in Polyacrulamide gels



BTW, this is NOT trivial and you are in for the pain of your life
