[Peptide mapping of the hexon and internal protein of type 6 human and type 7 simian adenoviruses]

Hexons (polypeptide 11) and core proteins (polypeptide V) of human adenovirus type 6 and simian adenovirus type 7 were isolated using electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel. Tryptic peptide maps showed the similarity but not identify in the structure of proteins studied. This method seems to be the most suitable for comparison of relative viral proteins.
