A method for N-terminal de novo sequence analysis of proteins by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry

A novel method for isolation and de novo sequencing of N-terminal peptides from proteins is described. The method presented here combines selective chemical tagging using succinimidyloxycarbonylmethyl tris(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)phosphonium bromide (TMPP-Ac-OSu) at the N α-amino group of peptides af...
