title: Peptide fractionation by high-performance liquid chromatography on an Asahipak GS-320 column: application to determination of the disulfide pairings in ribonuclease F1.
abstract: High-performance liquid chromatography on an Asahipak GS-320 column using isocratic elution with 0.1 M acetic acid has proven effective for fractionation of peptides of molecular weights lower than 3000. This technique enabled the separation of the peptides derived from digestion of native ribonuclease F1 by trypsin and chymotrypsin in combination with conventional gel filtration through Sephadex G-25 and reversed-phase HPLC. Amino acid analysis of the cystine-containing peptides thus obtained revealed the disulfide linkages Cys-6-Cys-102 and Cys-24-Cys-84 in this protein. The behavior of a number of peptides in the HPLC on an Asahipak GS-320 column is described and the separation mechanism is discussed.
