    A new manual protein sequencing method uses a novel reagent, 4-NN-dimethylaminoazobenzene 4'-isothiocyanate, for sensitive N-terminal analysis. This technique offers rapid, accurate peptide identification without UV detection or acid destruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Proteomics

    Background:

    • Accurate protein sequence analysis is crucial for understanding biological functions.
    • Existing methods for peptide sequencing can be time-consuming and require specialized equipment.
    • There is a need for sensitive and efficient manual methods for N-terminal residue determination.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel manual method for protein sequence analysis.
    • To introduce a new N-terminal residue determination reagent analogous to the dansyl-Edman method.
    • To assess the sensitivity, speed, and accuracy of the new method for peptide sequencing.

    Main Methods:

    • Peptide hydrolysis and qualitative amino acid composition analysis using 4-NN-dimethylaminoazobenzene-4 '-sulphonylchloride and 4-NN-dimethylaminoazobenzene 4 '-isothiocyanate.

  • Sequence determination using phenyl isothiocyanate and 4-NN-dimethylaminoazobenzene 4 '-isothiocyanate.
  • Thin-layer chromatography (t.l.c.) for separation and identification of amino acid derivatives.

    • Main Results:

    • The novel N-terminal reagent produced brightly colored derivatives detectable in the picomole range.
    • The method demonstrated high sensitivity (picomole range) and required no UV observation.
    • Acid-labile amino acids were not destroyed, and 24 amino acids were identifiable via two-dimensional t.l.c.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed manual method offers a sensitive and rapid alternative for protein sequence analysis.
    • The new reagent, 4-NN-dimethylaminoazobenzene 4 '-isothiocyanate, provides significant advantages over existing methods.
    • This technique facilitates efficient N-terminal residue determination and peptide identification.
