A peptide affinity inactivator, Ac‐Leu‐Arg‐Arg‐Ala‐(BrAc)Orn‐Leu‐Gly, was used as a tool to probe for active site residues in the catalytic subunit of bovine cAMP‐dependent protein kinase. The peptide inactivated the catalytic subunit in an active site‐directed and monophasic manner with a first‐order rate constant of 0.03 min −1 and a dissociation constant of 675 μ M . Studies with radioactive peptide indicated that approximately one equivalent of peptide was incorporated into each protein molecule. Protein sequencing identified the modified residue as Cys‐199. A possible location for Cys‐199 within the active site is suggested.
