Core - Protein Chemistry

Benson, Merrill D.

Abstract

The Protein Chemistry Core will continue to provide facilities and expertise for the isolation, purification and characterization of peptides and proteins. Special techniques provided by the Core include: 1) HPLC systems for isolation of proteins and peptides plus purification of monoclonal antibodies, 2) amino acid analysis, 3) protein electrophoresis and 4) amino acid sequencing.
