The amino acid sequence of a 27-residue peptide released during the early stages of the
plasmin digestion of human fibrinogen has been determined. The corresponding cyanogen
bromide fragment has also been isolated from the purified α-chains of fibrinogen, although a
separable fraction of those chains lack the fragment, evidently because of in vivo
degradation. The peptide is the carboxy-terminal segment of native α-chains.
