Abstract excerpt
High-affinity binding of radioactive Ni2+, Ca2+ and Zn2+ to six genetic albumin variants and to normal albumin isolated from the same heterozygote carriers was studied by equilibrium dialysis at pH 7.4. The three cations bind differently to albumin. Ni2+ binds to a site in the N-terminal region of the protein which is partially blocked by the presence of a propeptide as in proalbumin (proAlb) Varese...
