TLDR
The nucleotide sequences of the recombinant DNA inserts of three bacterial plasmid clones containing nearly all of the rat serum albumin mRNA have been determined and reveal a pattern of repeated internal homology that confirms the "intragenic triplication" model of albumin evolution.Abstract:
The nucleotide sequences of the recombinant DNA inserts of three bacterial plasmid clones containing nearly all of the rat serum albumin mRNA have been determined. A statistical analysis of the nucleotide sequence reveals a pattern of repeated internal homology that confirms the "intragenic triplication" model of albumin evolution.read more

Atomic structure and chemistry of human serum albumin.
Xiao Min He,Daniel C. Carter +1 more
TL;DR: The three-dimensional structure of human serum albumin has been determined crystallographically to a resolution of 2.8 Å and should provide insight into future pharmacokinetic and genetically engineered therapeutic applications of serumalbumin.

Structure of serum albumin.
Daniel C. Carter,Joseph X. Ho +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter provides an insight of the findings of past significant papers with the current knowledge of the recently determined high resolution X-ray structure of serum albumin and suggests that AFP may have a higher affinity for some unknown ligands important for fetal development.

Patterns of Amino Acids near Signal‐Sequence Cleavage Sites
TL;DR: In this paper, some such patterns, based on a sample of 78 eukaryotic signal sequences, are presented and discussed, and a first attempt at formulating rules for the prediction of cleavage sites is made.

TL;DR: An understanding of host defense mechanisms and of the ability to distinguish self from nonself requires a knowledge of the structural basis for protein antigenicity.

TL;DR: Observations raise the possibility that the synthesis of C/EBP may be responsive to humoral factors and that modulation in C/ EBP expression might mediate coordinated changes in gene expression that facilitate adaptive challenges met during development or during the fluctuating physiological states of adult life.
