cysteine problem

Discussions about HPLC, CE, TLC, SFC, and other "liquid phase" separation techniques.

I purified a short peptide with 6 cysteine residues, one cysteine residue is between two alanine residues [A-C-A]. When it came to read this cysteine residue on the amino acid sequence machine, both cysteine and alanine were increased (alanine was higher). Is that a kind of misreading or......?

Also another cysteine residue at the end of this peptide wasn't detected, any clue......?!

Also, there are 2 tyrosine residues in this peptide, the concentration of one tyr residue was too little, does anybody know why?

I tested the specificity, Mr value, and gene ecoding for this peptide and everything was ok......

Thank you for your attention

Maybe you forgot to ask the chromatography related question? :wink:
