Abstract
The two most widely used applications for chemical modification are in primary structure analysis and in the identification of essential groups involved in the binding and catalytic sites of proteins. The methods discussed here are those used frequently in primary structure analysis. Chemical modifications involving protein “active center” identification are the subject of a review by Pfleiderer (1).
