Abstract
THE main problem in working out the structure of peptides is to establish their amino-acid sequence. An essential part of this task consists in determining the amino-terminal and carboxyl-terminal amino-acid residues of the peptide chain (the amino-acid and the amino-acid)1. Many methods are dealing with this problem2.
