Antibody as immunological probe for studying refolding of bovine serum albumin. Refolding within each domain
J. M. Teale and D. C. Benjamin
Antiserum to bovine serum albumin was fractionated into populations of
antibody directed against party, an apparent pathway of refolding within
each domain was obtained which is consistent with the proposed evolutionary
pathway of the albumin molecule. The COOH-terminal one-third of each domain
refolds faster than the NH2-terminal two-thirds of each respective domain.
In addition, further evidence in given for a correlation between the rate
of refolding and the degree of interdomain influence that might restrict
refolding.
