The amino acid sequence of <i>Pseudomonas fluorescens</i> azurin

Abstract

The amino acid sequence of Pseudomonas fluorescens azurin has been determined. The protein consists of a single peptide chain of 128 residues. There is one intra-chain disulphide bridge. The sequence was determined by isolation of the soluble tryptic peptides, and by exhaustive examination of the products of chymotryptic and peptic digestion. The sequence has been confirmed by the purification and analysis of the seven fragments obtained by cyanogen bromide treatment of the protein.
