Abstract excerpt
Factors governing the stability of sperm whale, pig, and human metmyoglobin were examined by (1) measuring guanidinium chloride induced unfolding of apoglobins containing 22 replacements at positions 29(B10), 43(CD1), 64(E7), 68(E11), and 107(G8), (2) determining the rates of hemin loss from the recombinant holoproteins, and (3) estimating constitutive expression levels of the corresponding genes in Escherichia...
