Don't know about RNase B, but for a glycoprotein with one N-linked
site, I think Thrombin is one.

We were using RNase B as a substrate for measuring PNG'ase F activity but
Sigma is no longer selling it and I can't find an alternate source with a
preparation that isn't heavily contaminated with RNase A.

I'm looking for a glycoprotein with a single glycosylation site that is
commercially available (a tall order!). The only possibility I've found so
far is ovalbumin.

Does anybody have a candidate glycoprotein, or does anyone know of a good
source of RNase B?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
