The covalent structure of calf skin type III collagen. V. The amino acid sequence of the cyanogen bromide peptide alpha 1(III)CB9A (position 789 to 927)

Abstract

The cyanogen bromide peptide alpha 1(III)CB9A is 139 amino acid residues in length and occupies positions 789--927 along the alpha 1(III) chain. Peptides necessary for the complete sequence analysis were obtained after fragmentation of alpha 1(III)CB9B with trypsin, protease from Staphylococcus aureus V8, hydroxylamine and chymotrypsin. They were separated mainly by chromatography on Sephadex G-50 and phosphocellulose and subsequently sequenced using the automated Edman degradation procedure.
