Types of Chemical markers
Every peptide has an N-terminus and
Cterminus residue on the ends of the peptide
(except for cyclic peptides).
A polypeptide is a long, continuous, and
unbranched peptide.
Proteins consist of one or more polypeptides
arranged in a biologically functional way and are
often bound to cofactors, or other proteins.
Peptide mapping; purpose and scope
Peptide mapping is an identity test for proteins,
especially those obtained by r-DNA technology.
