Immunoaffinity (IA) and reversed-phase (RP) high-performance liquid chromatography were combined for the identification of the specific binding sites of benzylpenicilloyl (BPO) groups on human serum albumin (HSA). Tryptic hydrolysates of BPO-HSA were loaded on the IA column. BPO-peptides were desorbed and concentrated directly on the RP column, coupled via a switching valve, then separated by using gradient elution and identified by the amino acid sequences. This single-step procedure permitted more than 95% recovery of the BPO-peptides present in minute amounts, with good specificity.
