Abstract:
Comparison of high performance liquid chromatograms (HPLC) with capillary electrophoresis shows the latter to be superior in many cases owing to rapid separation, high resolution and high sensitivity. This is demonstrated with two examples (i) the isolation of natural peptides from bovine tissue and (ii) characterization of a synthetic peptide mixture with the natural sequence (fragment) of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmembrane glycoprotein gp 41 env.
