N- and C-terminal amino acids of saliva parotin A.
During the course of an investigation into the biological activities and chemical properties of saliva parotin A it became necessary to study the chemical structure of this protein. Previous workers have reported that the molecular weight of saliva parotin A prepared from human saliva is 15,900 (Ito, Y. 1960). Proline, threonine, aspartic acid, and gluta mic acid are contained in saliva parotin...
متن کاملThe N-Terminal Amino Acids of Human Plasma Proteins
A study has been made of the N-terminal amino acid pattern of human plasma proteins under normal and pathological conditions. The normal pattern shows the following N-terminal amino acids in order of diminishing quantities: aspartic acid, glutamic acid, valine, alanine, tyrosine, leucines, and glycine. In healthy individuals this pattern is qualitatively stable with moderate quantitative differ...
متن کاملRole of N-terminal amino acids in the absorption-enhancing effects of the c-terminal fragment of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin.
We recently found that a polypeptide, the C-terminal of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (C-CPE), was a novel type of drug absorption enhancer. The C-terminal of C-CPE is thought to play a role in the binding of C-CPE to its receptor, claudin-4; however, the function of the N-terminal of C-CPE is unclear. In the present study, we evaluated the role of the N-terminal domain of C-CPE in jejuna...
متن کاملTerminal amino acids of rhodopsin.
Rhodopsin, the photosensitive pigment of rod vision, is a chromoprotein composed in equimolar parts of the protein opsin and the carotenoid retinene (1). Its absorption spectrum and molar extinction are known (2) and the kinetics of bleaching by light and of regeneration have been investigated (3). An upper limit of 40,000 has been set for its molecular weight (cattle) (1). Since rhodopsin is i...
