Interactions of the 26-39 fragment of the cro protein from lambda bacteriophage with nucleic acids.

abstract：:Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are complexed with plasma proteins and proteolysis of plasma reduced the protein-GAG ratio about 140-fold. After dialysis, analysis by gradient PAGE revealed heparinase-1-sensitive GAGs, thus suggesting that heparin could be among the plasma GAGs. However, after dialysis most of the plasma GA...
