β¦ Synopsis
Proteolytic digests of human antithrombin 111 (ATIII) have heen analyzed by a combination of reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry for disulfidecontaining peptides which are diagnostic for disulfide linkages in ATIII. These results indicate that disulfide bonds join Cys 8 and Cys 128, Cys 21 and Cys 95, and Cys 247 and Cys 430. In addition, these results demonstrate that systematic searches of the amino acid sequence of a large protein for segments with molecular weights matching FAB mass spectral information is a viable method for identifying peptides independent of the specificity of the enzyme used to fragment the protein.
