Two labeled peptides were found in tryptic digests of NaB3H4-reduced, performic acid-oxidized Pseudomonas putida ß2 subunit. These two pyridoxyl peptides were identical except for the presence or absence of an NH2-terminal arginyl residue. The tryptic peptides which comprise the two halves of the pyridoxal phosphate-binding segment were isolated from digests of nonreduced, performic acid-oxidized protein. The primary structure deduced for this region of the protein is: [see PDF for sequence].
