Abstract excerpt

The urea-extractable proteins from calcified regions of intermoult cuticle of the lobster, Homarus americanus, have been separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis, showing that the extracts contain a large number of proteins. The major proteins have isoelectric points between 4 and 9, and thei...
