title: Determination of the primary structure of an alpha-amylase inhibitor from wheat kernel by Edman degradation and fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry.
abstract: The primary structure of an alpha-amylase inhibitor (coded 0.39) from wheat kernel was determined by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and Edman degradation. The sequence is similar to an extent of 97% compared to the other major component of the monomeric isoinhibitor family coded 0.28. The differences consist of the substitution of a single residue and the deletion of two residues in inhibitor 0.39. Neither heterogeneity nor polymorphism were observed in the primary structures of the inhibitors.
