title: Prothymosin alpha: efficient sequence determination by experimental and theoretical capillary electrophoretic support.
abstract: A rapid and efficient primary structure elucidation of prothymosin (ProT alpha) and its enzymatic fragments was performed by a combination of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI), automatic N-terminal Edman degradation, and the available theoretical predictions of electrophoretic mobility in capillary electrophoresis (CE) as a basis suggesting active sites of ProT alpha in the different bioassays.
