Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Two enzymatic methods commonly used in N-terminal sequence analysis of blocked proteins are presented in this unit; one uses pyroglutamate aminopeptidase for N(alpha)-pyrrolidone carboxyl-proteins in solution or blotted onto a membrane, and the other uses acylaminoacyl-peptide hydrolase for N(alpha)-acyl-proteins blocked with other acyl groups. A Support Protocol describes a colorimetric assay for pyroglutamate aminopeptidase activity. Sequencing with acylaminoacyl-peptide hydrolase must include fragmentation of the protein before unblocking can be carried out, so procedures are provided for chemically blocking newly generated peptides with either succinic anhydride or phenylisothiocyanate/performic acid. The hydrolase is then applied to the total mixture of peptides, only one of which, the acylated N-terminal peptide, should be a substrate for hydrolase. After incubation, the mixture of peptides is subjected to sequence analysis. Protocols are also provided for unblocking N-terminally blocked proteins using acid-catalyzed hydrolysis or methanolysis, hydrazinolysis, and beta-elimination after acid-catalyzed N-O shift. Alternate protocols describe chemical removal of acetyl and longer-chain alkanoyl groups, as well as formyl groups to open the cyclic imide of pyrrolidone carboxylate.
