摘要:
An reaction vessel utilizes a sample carrier composed of a magnetic core and a surface coating effective to support sample of protein or peptide. The sample carrier is floated magnetically and positioned within a reaction chamber. Edman reagent is applied to the sample to effect amino acid sequence analysis of protein or peptide from amino-terminal. By such construction, reaction efficiency is increased to produce sequentially thiazolinon amino-acid derivatives to thereby increase number of identified remaining amino acids, thereby enabling microanalysis of sample.

To easily detect an amino acid derivative with high sensitivity in carrying out amino acid sequence analysis of a protein from an amino terminal, 2-anilino-5-thiazolinone amino acid derivative is reacted with a volatile primary amine represented by the general formula X-NH.sub.2, wherein X denotes a hydrocarbon containing a halogen to form a phenylthiocarbamyl amino acid derivative, and the phenylthiocarbamyl amino acid derivative is detected by using a gas chromatograph provided with an ECD. Accordingly, amino acid sequencing may be performed with high sensitivity without the need to use harmful radioisotope labeled or fluorescent amino compounds.

A protein or peptide is treated by a vapor containing an organic acid represented by the following general formula CF.sub.3 --(CF.sub.2)n--COOH (n is zero or more integer). The resulting reaction mixture is processed by a mass spectrometer to obtain a mass spectrum to measure a mass of respective chemical species contained in the reaction mixture. Alternatively, the reaction mixture is processed by an amino acid analyzer to determine an amino acid sequence of the protein or peptide from the carboxy-terminal. According to another method, the protein or peptide is treated by an anhydride of the organic acid represented by the following general formula CF.sub.3 --(CF.sub.2)n--COOH (n is zero or more integer). The resulting reaction mixture is processed by a mass spectrometer to obtain a mass spectrum to measure a mass of respective chemical species contained in the reaction mixture to determine an amino acid sequence of the protein or peptide from the carboxy-terminal.
