A simple, rapid, and quantitative procedure for the protection of reduced S-S bonds in proteins by selective methylation with dimethylsuifate is described. The formed S-methylcysteine is a stable derivative well suited for ion-exchange chromatographic (iec) or gas-liquid chromatographic (glc) analys

A new reagent for the routine identification of cysteine residues during protein sequencing is described. This method employs 3-bromopropylamine to alkylate cysteines in proteins after reduction with dithiothreitol. Upon sequencing of the protein on an Applied Biosystems 477 A protein sequencer, the
Hydrolysis of proteins and peptides with mercaptoethane sulfonic acid is liable to produce overestimation of the proline content owing to the production of ninhydrin-positive material (probably cysteine) which coelutes with proline on many ion-exchange analytical systems. A similar error occurs with
