Description
Summary:A total of 10 cyanogen bromide peptides were isolated from the S-beta-carboxymethyl iron protein of nitrogenase. Purification of these peptides was performed mainly by gel filtration on Sephadex G-50; by ascending paper chromatography using the solvent system of pyridine, isoamyl alcohol, 0.1 M ammonium hydroxide; and also, in some cases, with additional steps such as anion exchange column chromatography on Dowex 1-X2 or ascending paper chromatography in an acidic solvent system or by pyridine precipitation of the cyanogen bromide fragment. Sequenator analyses of three large cyanogen bromide peptides (53 to 72 residues) provided tryptic peptide overlap data for the inner portion of the protein. The cyanogen bromide peptides accounted for all of the 273 amino acid residues which were present in the tryptic peptides isolated from carboxymethyl-iron protein (Tanaka, M., Haniu, M., Yasunobu, K. T., and Mortenson, L. E. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 7081-7088).
