[Purification and properties of copper thionein]. 1984

V Z Melkonian, and A A Shaldzhian, and R M Nalbandian

A novel procedure for purification of copper-thionein from rabbit liver was developed. The molecular mass, copper, and thiol contents were determined. The properties of the protein were compared with those of Cd-thionein. Copper was removed from Cu-thionein and the reconstitution was achieved. The binding of copper leads to an increase in absorbance at 260 nm.
