  • Title: Microsequencing of proteins and peptides in the Knauer sequencer with and without covalent attachment to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes by the wet-phase degradation technique.

    Journal: Biol Chem Hoppe Seyler; 1991 May; 372(5):351-61. PubMed ID: 1872998.
    Abstract:
    Proteins and large peptides were degraded with phenylisothiocyanate (PITC) in the horizontal flow-through-reactor of the Modular Knauer Sequencer (Fischer, S., Reimann, F. & Wittmann-Liebold, B. (1989) in Methods in Protein Sequence Analysis (Wittmann-Liebold, B., ed.) Springer-Verlag, Berlin, pp. 98-107) by the wet-phase filter technique (Wittmann-Liebold, B. (1988) J. Prot. Chem. 7, 224-225) employing polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes without polybrene. In order to prevent losses of small peptides during solvent washes at the degradation, 1.4-phenylene diisothiocyanate (DITC) derivatized PVDF support (MilliGen, Burlington, MA) was used to covalently attach the peptide via its lysine groups in situ within the cross-flow reaction chamber onto this membrane (Herfurth, E., Pilling, U. & Wittmann-Liebold, B. (1990) J. Prot. Chem. 9, 267). We found these membranes very suitable for peptide degradations in the Knauer sequencer. In almost all cases we were able to identify the amino-acid residues of the peptide up to its last covalent fixation point to the membrane.
