Abstract excerpt
To evaluate the ability of an insect cell-free protein synthesis system to generate proper N-terminal cotranslational protein modifications such as removal of the initiating Met, N-acetylation, and N-myristoylation, several mutants were constructed using truncated human gelsolin (tGelsolin) as a model protein. Tryptic digests of these mutants were analyzed by MALDI-TOF MS and MALDI-quadrupole-IT-TOF MS. The...
