The alkylation product of N-ethylmaleimide, while stable at acid pH, is hydrolyzed at alkaline pH to the corresponding N-ethylsuccinamic acid. Based on this behavior, a diagonal electrophoretic procedure for separating sulfhydryl peptides alkylated with N-ethylmaleimide from the bulk of unlabeled peptides of a proteolytic digest was developed. After a 1st high-voltage paper electrophoresis at pH 6.5 the paper strip was exposed to an ammonia atmosphere. Hydrolysis of the N-ethylsuccinimide moiety to N-ethylsuccinamic acid generated a new negative charge allowing ready separation of the labeled from the unlabeled peptides in a 2nd electrophoretic run.
