Abstract
The 24 residues of the N-terminal CNBr peptide from a wheat albumin, that lacks phenylalanine and histidine, have been sequenced. Three of the assignments were made partly by analogy with two other proteins, as evidence is presented that all three proteins are probably identical in this region. Extra evidence for the sequences of the alpha-chymotryptic peptides derived from the N-terminal CNBr peptides of the three proteins, and also for their assembly, has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50063 (11 pages) at the British Library Lending Division, Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies may be obtained on the terms given in Biochem J. (1976) 153, 5. The nature of such evidence is stated in the text of this present communication.
