Notechis scutatus scutatus (Australian tiger snake), has been elucidated. The protein
consists of a single chain of 119 amino acids cross-linked by seven disulfide bridges and
has a formula weight of 13,578. The main fragmentation of the peptide chain was
accomplished with a staphylococcal protease specific for glutamoyl bonds. A cyanogen
bromide fragment and tryptic peptides were used to align the five major staphylococcal …
