Hi-
I can't really answer your question directly, but it prompted a hair-brained
idea. If you alkylate the Cys with 3-bromopropylamine, you'll get the
aminopropylcysteine derivative. That is sufficiently like Lys (cleaved by
Lys-C,in fact) that the peptide might be well retained on a Polybrene GF/C
disk---similarly to a C-terminal Lys or Arg. Maybe that would get you to the end
without unacceptable washout.

Hello all,
Can anyone provide information for coupling C-terminal cysteine of a short
peptide via -SH groups to a membrane for Edman sequencing?
Thanks in advance
Satya
