Abstract:
Matrix assisted laser desorption mass spectrometry provides a very fast and efficient way to check protein sequences by the analysis of whole proteolytic digests. This method has been applied to the sequence verification of E. coli isoleucyl tRNA synthetase, for which two different sequences are found in data banks. The result of this investigation clearly shows that no one of these sequences is correct.
