Abstract excerpt
Recombinant wild-type human serum albumin (rHSA), the single-residue mutants K199A, K439A and K525A and the triple-residue mutant K199A/K439A/K525A were produced using a yeast expression system. Portions of the rHSA were glycated to different degrees (2.5-250 mM D-glucose). As detected by far-UV and near-UV CD, intrinsic tryptophan-fluorescence and probed by 1,1'-bis(4-anilino)naphthalene-5,5-disulfonic acid, the...
