Salivary agglutinin is a high molecular mass component of human saliva that binds
Streptococcus mutans, an oral bacterium implicated in dental caries. To study its protein
sequence, we isolated the agglutinin from human parotid saliva. After trypsin digestion, a
portion was analyzed by matrix-assisted laser/desorption ionization time-of-flight mass
spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), which gave the molecular mass of 14 unique peptides. The
remainder of the digest was subjected to high performance liquid chromatography, and the …
