A combination of new mass spectrometric methods that can be used to determine the primary structures of proteins, including post-translational modifications, with unprecedented speed and accuracy is described. Structural characterization of alpha-crystallins from bovine lenses has been used to illus

Abstract
This paper illustrates the role that mass spectrometry played in the first elucidation of the primary structure of a hypothalamic releasing factor. It has been demonstrated that ovine TRF has the structure 2‐pyrrolidone‐5‐carboxylyl‐histidyl‐proline amide.

## Abstract One unsaturated and three branched long‐chain primary alcohols have been converted into __N__‐alkyl‐2‐pyrrolidones for investigation by mass spectrometry. The EI. mass spectra of these derivatives have been found to exhibit unambiguously the branching points and, albeit less clearly, th
