Analysis of the Primary Sequence of Human Myelin Basic Protein Peptides 1–44 and 90–170 by Fast Atom Bombardment Mass Spectrometry

: The originally described sequence of human myelin basic protein peptide 45–89 has recently been shown to contain two errors which have now been resolved. In the present study fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry was utilized to analyze the primary sequence of the other portions, peptides 1–44 and 90–170 of human myelin basic protein. The results obtained confirm the accuracy of the primary sequence published for both of these terminal peptides.
