Abstract excerpt
Protease from Staphylococcus aureus V8 cleaves either at glutamic residues or at both aspartic and glutamic residues, depending on the experimental conditions. In structural analyses of human hemoglobin variants, the specificity of this enzyme is of considerable interest to localize substitutions occurring in medium or large size peptides as it cleaves in smaller fragments which may be unambiguously...
