Dear ABRFers:

I want to do a CNBr-cleavage of a hydrophobic 140 kD protein, which is not
soluble in aqueous solution. So I plan to add some acetonitrile to the 70%
aqueous formic acid during reaction.
Is this advisable or are there other (better) ways of doing a Br CN
cleavage with an water insoluble protein?

Thanks in advance for taking your time!
Henriette
