Abstract
The amino acid sequence of porcine aortic tropoelastin has been studied extensively by Foster, et al. (1). They used trypsin cleavage to determine about 55% of the total sequence. It has been very difficult to obtain the remaining sequence or to place the peptides in order, both because of the nature of the cleavage and the hydrophobicity of the peptides.
