Emily,

I used NTCB for cleaving proteins at cysteines, and the method worked
reasonably well. It's been a while, but as, as I recall, one thing to
look for is elimination at cysteins resulting in dehydroalanine
formation. Here's a reference:
I.A. Papayannopoulos and K. Biemann, "Amino acid sequence of a protease
inhibitor isolated from Sarcophaga bullata determined by mass
spectrometry", Protein Science, 1 (1992), 278-288.
