Commercial protein sequencing services?

05 May 2016 1 5K Report

I want to sequence some unknown protein excised from 1D-SDS-gel. Have anybody experienced with protein sequencing? Are there any good commercial protein sequencing services?

Norbert Weiss

Hi Bhagya,

New England Peptide (http://www.newenglandpeptide.com/) is a reliable one – maybe not the cheapest one but they provide a really good service.

Hope this helps. Norbert
