Dear Phil,

In my experience with Arg cleavage (several years ago), I found that
Clostripain worked significantly better than the other endoproteinase
Arg-C enzymes.

I have need to cleave a large protein at R in order to identify a
particular carboxymethy cys residue. Greg Grant suggested that I poll
the
group for advice as to a suitable protease and protocol to do such if
there
is one available. I have about 500 pmol of tritiated protein that is mr
140000. Thanks for your help Phil Majerus
