Protein sequence determination

... Sanger's Reagent (FDNB) was useful in the "old" days of protein work because it gives a clean reaction with free primary and secondary amine groups. DNP-amino acids are stable under acid hydrolysis and yield yellow derivatives that are readily identified. You can only identify the N-terminal ...
