Revised Manuscript Received November 19, 1986 abstract: The amino acid sequence of cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenase (sMDH) has been determined by a combination of X-raycrystallographic and chemical sequencing methods. The initial molecular model incorporated an “X-ray amino acid sequence” that was derived primarily from an evaluation of a multiple isomorphous replacement phased electron density map calculated at 2.5-Á resolution. Following restrained least-squares crystallographic refinement, difference electron density maps were calculated from model phases, and attempts were made to upgrade the X-ray amino acid sequence. The method used to find the positions of peptides in the X-ray structure was similar to those used for studying protein homology and was shown to be successful for large fragments. For sMDH, X-ray methods by themselves were insufficient to derive a complete amino acid sequence, even with partial chemical sequence data. However, for this relatively large molecule at medium resolution, the electron density maps were of considerable help in determining the linear position of peptide fragments. The N-acetylated polypeptide chain of sMDH has 331 amino acids and has been crystallographically refined to an R factor of 19% for 2.5-Á resolution diffraction data.
