N-terminally chemically modified protein compositions and methods

TL;DR: In this article, methods and compositions relating to the attachment of water soluble polymers to proteins are presented. But they do not specify any methods for N-terminally modifying proteins or analogs thereof, and their resultant compositions, including novel Nterminally chemically modified GCSF compositions and related methods of preparation.

Solvent regulation of oxygen affinity in hemoglobin. Sensitivity of bovine hemoglobin to chloride ions.

TL;DR: The pronounced sensitivity of the oxygen affinity ofbovine hemoglobin to chloride concentration and to pH suggests that in bovine species these are the modulators of oxygen transport in vivo.

Polymer conjugates of interferon beta-1a and their uses

TL;DR: An interferon beta polypeptide comprising inter-feron-beta 1a coupled to a polymer containing a polyalkylene glycol moiety was proposed in this paper.

Subunit dissociations in natural and recombinant hemoglobins.

TL;DR: A tetramer dissociation constant can now be determined readily and used together with other criteria for characterization of hemoglobins and their interaction with small regulatory molecules.

Alkylation and identification of the histidine residues at the active site of ribonuclease.

TL;DR: The present communication is concerned with theracterization of the two products of the reaction, the establishment of the position of the amino acid residues altered in each instance, and the determination of which of theTwo structural isomers is formed when a given imidazole ring in ribonuclease is alkylated by iodoacetate.

The Nature of the Amino Acid Residues Involved in the Inactivation of Ribonuclease by Iodoacetate

TL;DR: The fact, that the pH optimum for the reaction leading to the formation of imidazole carboxymethyl ribonuclease is around pH 5.5 to 6, instead of at the more alkaline pH values observed for the alkylation of cy-N-acetylhistidine, suggests that inactivation takes place as a result of substitution on a particular one of the four histidine residues present in rib onuclease.

The interaction of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate with various human hemoglobins

TL;DR: Results suggest that the N-terminal amino groups of the non-α-chains are involved in the binding of 2,3-DPG to hemoglobin.
