Two specific azodye-carcinogen-binding proteins of the rat liver: The identity of amino acid residues which bind the azodye

B Ketterer, L Christodoulides - Chemico-Biological Interactions, 1969 - Elsevier
Two soluble liver proteins in the rat have a high affinity of binding for metabolites of azodye
carcinogens. One protein is referred to as the basic azodye-binding protein (mol. wt. 45 000,
pI 8.4) and the other as the small molecular weight protein (mol. wt. 13 800). A study has
been made of the amino acid residues which bind the azodye metabolites in these two
proteins. Azodye-bound components were released from these proteins by Pronase
digestion followed by refluxing in alkali-ethanol. They were then separated by …
