It is frequently possible to bypass the determination of the identity of the N-terminal amino acid of a protein because
A) this information is already available from the amino acid analysis
B) the Edman method sequences the peptide from the N-terminal end
C) N-terminal amino acids are always chemically modified
D) this information is not needed

Question
