Effect of temperature and pH on derivatization of TSP with [3H]NEM. One hundred fifty micrograms/milliliter Ca-TSP was incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes or adjusted to pH 8.4 with 0.1 mol/L Tris base before derivatization with [3H]NEM. Limited thrombin digestion, SDS-PAGE on 5% to 20% gradient gels, and fluorography were as described in Materials and Methods. Shown here are fluorographs of undigested TSP (0 hours) and 3-hour thrombin digestion in 6 mmol/L EDTA.
