A rapid and specific method for isolation of thiol-containing peptides from large proteins by thiol-disulfide exchange on a solid support.

abstract：:This study uses a multiisotope (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and strontium) approach to examine early animal management in the Maya region. An analysis of faunal specimens across almost 2,000 years (1000 BC to AD 950) at the site of Ceibal, Guatemala, reveals the earliest evidence for live-traded dogs and possible captiv...
