Popis: Pig heart aconitase reacts with one mole of phenacyl bromide per molecule to give complete inactivation due to the alkylation of a cysteine residue at the active site. A tryptic peptide containing this essential residue has been isolated and its amino acid sequence determined as Ile-Gln-Leu-Leu-Cys ∗-Pro-Leu-Leu-Asn-Gln-Phe-Asp-Lys by manual methods and by the use of an automated solid phase sequencer. There is a limited similarity in amino acid sequence between this peptide and other peptides containing the cysteine residues involved in the binding of the iron-sulfur clusters of high-potential iron-sulfur protein of Rhodopseudomonas gelatinosa and rubredoxins from various bacteria.
