Abstract
Mouse brain proteins were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE). The proteins of a section of the 2-DE pattern were blotted onto hydrophobic membranes and 43 of them were excised and hydrolyzed by liquid-phase hydrolysis. The amino acid composition of these proteins was determined by orthophthaldialdehyde precolumn derivatization and compared with the compositions of known proteins stored in the NBRF sequence database. An identification program named ASA was developed for this purpose. The ASA program includes correction and weighting factors, data reduction by molecular weight windows, and exclusion or inclusion of certain organisms as desired. As a control, eight test proteins and five well-known proteins from mouse brain, all separated by 2-DE, were correctly identified by the program. Out of the 43 brain proteins selected, 19 were identified with high confidence.Keywords
