Subfragments from the Fc fragment of human immunoglobulin G. Isolation and physicochemical charaterization. 1968

M W Turner, and H Bennich

A fragment termed fragment Fc' and a related fragment termed fragment pFc' produced by the actions of papain and pepsin respectively on human immunoglobulin G have been isolated and characterized. Amino acid analyses and experiments utilizing cyanogen bromide to cleave the methionyl bonds of the Fc' and pFc' fragments make it possible to locate both fragments within the known chain structure of the immunoglobulin G molecule. The pFc' fragment is probably a non-covalently linked dimer situated at the C-terminal end of the molecule, containing about 232 amino acid residues and having a molecular weight of 26000. The Fc' fragment is a similar dimer of about 182 residues extending from near residue 14 to near residue 105 (numbered from the C-terminal end) of the gamma-chain and has a molecular weight of 21000.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007106 Immune Sera Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen. Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
D008961 Models, Structural A representation, generally small in scale, to show the structure, construction, or appearance of something. (From Random House Unabridged Dictionary, 2d ed) Model, Structural,Structural Model,Structural Models
D008970 Molecular Weight The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule. Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010206 Papain A proteolytic enzyme obtained from Carica papaya. It is also the name used for a purified mixture of papain and CHYMOPAPAIN that is used as a topical enzymatic debriding agent. EC 3.4.22.2. Tromasin
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
D011492 Protein Hydrolysates A complex mixture of OLIGOPEPTIDES, PEPTIDES, and free AMINO ACIDS that are produced by partial or extensive hydrolysis. Protein Hydrolysate,Hydrolysate, Protein,Hydrolysates, Protein
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.
