β¦ Synopsis
P-Lipotrophin (62-77) or Ac-gastrin releasing peptide was incubated with immobilized carboxypeptidase Y or aminopeptidase M. Subsequent aliquots of each incubation mixture were analysed by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry using a dithiothreitol/dithioerythritol liquid matrix. The use of immobilized enzymes and volatile buffers for exopeptidase digestions enabled rapid and facile separation of enzyme from digestion products. This approach to mass spectral peptide analysis reduced spectral background arising from a glycerol matrix, buffer salts, or enzyme proteins and contaminants, enabling analysis of as little as 200 picomoles of a suitable peptide.

Oligopeptides subjected to partial enzyme hydrolysis provide mixtures of sub-peptides which optimize amino acid sequence determination by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. The digestion mixture can be sampled directly; there is no interference from the enzyme. Complete sequences were obtained
