Two of the samples were also sequenced at the core facility at the OU Health Science Center in Oklahoma City, an established facility. For two other samples, the determined amino acid sequence matched the results predicted by the investigators from DNA sequence information. Protein micro-sequencing in our facility is thus accurate and reliable. We encourage the submission of samples for protein sequencing. Call Dr. Steven White at 744-6191 for instructions on sample preparation before working up the sample.
Optimal preparation is essential for reliable results.
We use capillary electrophoresis to analyze the purity of the peptide and have recently added HPLC analysis as an additional check on purity. Preparative HPLC for purification of peptides will be available soon. Call Call Dr. Steven White at 744-6191 for information or stop by and pick up an order form from 349 Noble Research Center. These facilities are available for use by all OSU Personnel and other interested investigators throughout Oklahoma. Listed below are some important hardware and software tools for understanding small and large molecules in three dimensions.
