Abstract excerpt
The structure and biological activities of two disulphide isomers of a C-region deletion mutant of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) which has an Asn--Gly link engineered at the junction of the A- and B-regions were studied before and after chemical cleavage. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra and binding affinity to IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) indicated that the treatment with hydroxylamine did not disrupt...
