The formation of iron-binding fragments of hen ovotransferrin by limited proteolysis.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: 1. Iron was added to hen ovotransferrin to 30% saturation and the protein was digested with trypsin or chymotrypsin. 2. Iron-binding fragments were isolated. They carried one atom of iron/mol (mol.wt. 35000) and consisted of a single polypeptide chain derived from the N-terminal half of the protein. Carbohydrate was not present. 3. The fragments were able to bind a variety of metals and to donate iron to reticulocytes.
