title: Kinetics of heme octapeptide (microperoxidase-8; MP-8) formation studied by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) monitoring of the peptic and tryptic hydrolysis of horse heart cytochrome-c.
abstract: The kinetics of the sequential peptic and tryptic hydrolysis of cytochrome-c to give the heme-peptides microperoxidase-11 (MP-11) and -8 (MP-8), respectively, has been investigated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and we demonstrate that MP-8 can be prepared from cytochrome-c to the point of lyophilization within 4 hr.
