Background:

  • Characterizing peptide domains is essential for understanding protein function.
  • Existing methods for domain mapping can be time-consuming and complex.
  • Rapid functional analysis of domains encoded by cDNA is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a convenient method for simultaneous functional characterization of peptide domains.
  • To rapidly map the location and amino acid sequence of functional domains within a polypeptide.
  • To demonstrate the utility of this method for newly isolated cDNA sequences.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a sequential series of overlapping M13 subclones generated during nucleotide sequencing.
  • Applying functional characterization to peptide domains encoded by these subclones.
