TRYPTIC PEPTIDES OF THE COAT PROTEIN FROM WILD-TYPE COWPEA CHLOROTIC MOTTLE VIRUS

The tryptic peptides of aminoethylated coat protein from cowpea chlorotic mottle virus were isolated and their amino acid compositions determined. Twenty-three major peptides accounted for 177 of the 182 amino acid residues which comprise the coat protein. The tryptic peptides were identified with respect to their position on two-dimensional peptide maps of cowpea chlorotic mottle virus protein, to aid future analysis of coat protein variants.
