Enables proteins and peptides to be sequenced.
Pehr Edman introduced phenylisothiocyanate (Edman's
reagent) to selectively label the amino-terminal residue of
a peptide. In contrast to Sanger's reagent, the
phenylthiohydantoin (PTH) derivative can be removed under
mild conditions to generate a new amino terminal residue
(Figure 4–7). Successive rounds of derivatization with
Edman's reagent can therefore be used to sequence many
residues of a single sample of peptide. While the first 20–
30 residues of a peptide can readily be determined by the
Edman method, most polypeptides contain several hundred
amino acids. Consequently, most polypeptides must first be
cleaved into smaller peptides prior to Edman sequencing.

I have given the protocol for the cyclodextrin glygosyl transferase assay: One ml of appropriately diluted enzyme sample was incubated at 60 °C for 15 min with 5 ml of 1% (w/v) gelatinized soluble starch in 50 mM, 7.0-pH Tris–HCl buffer. Reaction was terminated by boiling the reaction mixture for 3 min and reaction volume was made to 10 ml with distilled water. Two ml of above reaction mixture was withdrawn and mixed with 3 ml of Tris–HCl buffer, 5 ml of 125 mM Na2CO3, and 0.5 ml of phenolphthalein (25 mg phenolphthalein/100 ml absolute alcohol). Absorbance was measured at 550 nm. The percent decrease of sample was calculated with respect to control containing 5 ml of buffer, 5 ml of sodium carbonate and 0.5 ml of phenolphthalein. where Acontrol = absorbance of control and Atest = absorbance of sample. The amount of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) produced was estimated from the standard graph of 0–500 μg/ml β-CD concentration against % decrease in absorbance. One unit of CGTase was defined as the amount of enzyme required to produce 1 μm of β-CD/min. Please can you suggest me the formula for the defination given in the last line
