A new peptide from venom of the East-European hornet Vespa orientalis. Mass spectrometric de novo sequence

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The de novo sequence of a new peptide from venom of the East-European hornet Vespa orientalis L. was determined by mass spectrometry. It was used as an example to show that time-of-flight mass spectrometry with an electrospray ion source can be used effectively to determine the amino-acid sequence of microquantities of peptides.
