Protein Sequencing
Determine amino acid sequence of protein, peptide and mAb
Do you want to identify or confirm the amino acid (AA) sequence of your protein, antibody, or peptide? Do you need a service to pinpoint truncations or cleavage sites? Or even quantify post-translational modifications?

Amino acid sequencing of proteins, antibodies, and peptides is important in detailed sequence analysis and protein characterization. But amino acids sequencing approaches must be robust, reproducible, and sensitive to obtain full sequence coverage. Therefore, the protein sequencing service provided by Alphalyse uses liquid chromatography methods coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry technology.
Comprehensive characterization package
In the past, the Edman degradation analysis was often used for N-terminal sequencing. But today, applying a combination of intact mass analysis and peptide mapping to obtain N- and C-terminal sequence information is more common. Thus, we mainly use MS technology for quantitative peptide maps to search specific protein databases. But we can also make peptide maps without protein sequence information.
You often combine protein sequencing with HPLC methods, such as RP, SEC, and IEX, and host cell protein analysis to characterize the biopharmaceutical product.
