Further evidence for a flexible and highly expanded spheroidal model for mucus glycoproteins in solution.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The flexible and greatly expanded roughly spherical model for mucus glycoproteins proposed earlier, on the basis of hydrodynamic and n.m.r. data, is supported by new hydrodynamic results on a bronchial glycoprotein from a cystic-fibrosis patient. Furthermore, images from electron microscopy of this molecule and a lower-molecular-weight mucus glycoprotein (which closely resembles a glycopolypeptide) appear to be at least consistent with this model.
