The team hoped that sulfatase would catalyse the required hydrolysis reaction, involving the addition ... of a chain of small molecules called amino acids. Once the protein chain is formed ...

Credit: COURTESY OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Frederick Sanger presented the first complete amino acid sequence of a protein (insulin) after 12 years of painstaking biochemistry involving partial ...

Did you ever take a swig of aspartame-sweetened diet soda and have it taste nasty? Sour, metallic, and vile, but not sweet.

THE weakest point in the DNP-method 1 is the destruction of the N-terminal DNP-amino-acid which occurs under the conditions of hydrolysis necessary to detach it from the protein. The optimum time ...
