- You have been given an unknown low weight polypeptide to sequence. Luckily, you have a plentiful supply. You are given a limited amount of Edmond's reagent-just enough to perform 1 restricted digestion for every fragment that you generate but not for complete digestion of every fragment.

You are only given enough Carboxypeptidase for one fragment analysis. You fortunately have a plentiful supply of ion chromatography columns, eluting buffers, and SDS-PAGE gels to help you separate individual amino acids for analysis and fragment size (length) determination.
