Abstract excerpt
The biological activity of the insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and IGF-II) is regulated by six IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs 1-6). To examine the surface of IGF-I that associates with the IGFBPs, we created a series of six IGF-I analogues, [His(4)]-, [Gln(9)]-, [Lys(9)]-, [Ser(16)]-, [Gln(9),Ser(16)]-, and [Lys(9),Ser(16)]IGF-I, that contained substitutions for residues Thr(4), Glu(9), or Phe(16). Substitution...
