The amino acid sequence of a 59-residue 'non-helical tail' from a low-sulfur microfibrillar protein (component 8c-I) from wool is reported. The amino acid composition shows relatively high contents of serine (17 %), half-cystine (14 %), proline (8 %), glycine (8 %) compared to the helical areas of component 8c-I. Although the composition of the cyanogen bromide fragment CNBr-3 resembles the compositions of the high-sulfur proteins extracted from wool there are no obvious sequence homologies present. The Edman degradation yields at an aspartyl-glycyl bond decreased so much that difficulties were encountered in determining the subsequent sequence.

Abstract Ganirelix is a synthetic decapeptide linked with nine different amino acids. To understand the peptide amino acid sequence or primary structure, the first step is to determine the amino acid composition of the peptide which can be a determining factor for the peptide immunogenicity. Edman degradation is not a suitable analytical technique to identify amino acid sequence present in Ganirelix due to the absence of uncharged N-terminal amino group. To address this challenge, a pre-column derivatization method was developed with 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate reagent. In the present work, the Ganirelix active pharmaceutical ingredient present in the injectable formulation was isolated by fraction collection and further purified by flash chromatography. The amino acid composition of Ganirelix is assayed by carrying out acid hydrolysis with 6 mol L−1 hydrochloric acid solution containing 1% phenol at 100°C for 24 h and derivatization with 6-aminoquinolyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate reagent solution, followed by determination of individual amino acids by reverse-phase chromatography using a C18 column. High resolution was achieved for the nine amino acid mixture. The amino acid composition results of temperature-stressed Ganirelix generic product and reference listed drug are in good agreement with the theoretical molar ratio of label information.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from leg muscle of M. rufa has been extracted and purified. The reaction of the enzyme with iodoacetate, the amino acid composition, tryptic fingerprint, and some amino acid sequences (in-cluding that around the reactive cysteine) indicate that kangaroo glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is almost identical with pig glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

Peptides derived from digestion of 1 μmol of sunflower cytochrome c with chymotrypsin were separated by paper electrophoresis. The sequences of these peptides were determined by using the dansyl–Edman method (Gray & Hartley, 1963) and confirmed by analysis of their amino acid composition. Comparison of the set of peptides with the chymotryptic peptides of mung-bean (Thompson, Laycock, Ramshaw & Boulter, 1970) and wheat germ (Stevens, Glazer & Smith, 1967) cytochrome c shows a clear homology. The complete sequence of sunflower cytochrome c was established by alignment of the sunflower peptides with the sequences of mung bean cytochrome c and wheat germ cytochrome c.

1. A partial amino acid sequence of 95 residues of the 191 residues in the oxidized A chain of human subcomponent C1q was determined. The partial nature of the sequence is because one overlapping peptide is missing in the proposed sequence, also the proof of some of the overlapping peptides depends partly on their amino acid composition and not on their complete sequence. 2. This region of the A chain contained a repeating sequence of glycine-X-Y (where X is often proline and Y is often hydroxyproline) for 78 residues. 3. The five hydroxylysine residues and the five hydroxyproline residues present in the oxidized A chain were all in these 78 residues and only in the Y position of the repeating sequence. 4. Prolonged collagenase digestion of the oxidized A chain yielded a large, apparently C-terminal, peptide which contained most of the non-collagenous sequences present in the chain. 5. It is concluded that there is a collagen-like region in the A chain of subcomponent C1q which constitutes most of the N-terminal half of the chain and that similar collagen-like regions will be found in the B and C chains.
