Sequence Determination of Peptide by the Combined Use of Fluoresceinisothiocyanate and Phenylisothiocyanate

Abstract
A fluorometric manual technique has been demonstrated for determining the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide, by the combined use of fluoresceinisothiocyanate (FITC) and phenylisothiocyanate (PITC). This method permits continuous assignments of 10 residues with 5.6 nmoles of myoglobin or 23 residues with 45 nmoles.
