For a thorough investigation of the drug-binding behaviour and other physicochemical properties of human serum albumin, one needs large amounts of specific fragments of albumin. Such fragments were obtained by careful proteolysis of the native protein with pepsin at pH 3.70. The fast protein liquid chromatographic technique was used to find the optimum experimental conditions for the separation of the fragments. By means of anion-exchange chromatography, chromatofocusing and gel permeation, it was possible to obtain a large fragment with a relative molecular mass of 46,000. The fragment could be assigned to segment 1-387 and therefore consists of domains 1 and 2 of the albumin structure. A 1-g amount of albumin produced 50 mg of a fragment that was 98% homogeneous.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D010434 Pepsin A Formed from pig pepsinogen by cleavage of one peptide bond. The enzyme is a single polypeptide chain and is inhibited by methyl 2-diaazoacetamidohexanoate. It cleaves peptides preferentially at the carbonyl linkages of phenylalanine or leucine and acts as the principal digestive enzyme of gastric juice. Pepsin,Pepsin 1,Pepsin 3
