1. Activated human plasma factor XIII was 65% inhibited by iodo[14C]acetate and incorporated 0.6 mol of label into the α subunit, which eventually was allowed to form a precipitate. 2. All the label was recovered as S-carboxymethylcysteine in a tetra-peptide of sequence Gly-Gln-Cys-Trp.

1. A partial amino acid sequence of the α chain from the rat (Wistar, Rattus norvegicus) major haemoglobin is reported. The soluble tryptic peptides prepared from aminoethylated α-globin were separated by peptide ‘mapping’. Sequencing of the tryptic peptides was carried out by the dansyl-Edman method and by the overlapping of smaller peptide fragments derived from secondary enzymic digestion. The insoluble ‘core’ peptides were further digested with chymotrypsin, thermolysin and pepsin to give smaller soluble peptides for sequencing. The tryptic peptides were ordered on the basis of their homology with the corresponding peptides of human α chain. 2. The proposed sequence is compared with that obtained by using an automated sequencer [Garrick et al. (1975) Biochem. J.149, 245-258]. The differences in sequence resulting from the two methods are discussed. 3. It is suggested that the externally situated cysteine (residue 13) is responsible for the observed inhibition of crystallization of rat haemoglobin at alkaline pH. 4. Detailed evidence for the sequence has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50047 (9 pages) at the British Library (Linding Division), Boston Spa, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from which copies can be obtained on the terms given in Biochem. J. (1975) 145, 5.
