Alteration of the specificity of ecotin, an E. coli serine proteinase inhibitor, by site directed mutagenesis.

abstract：:Ubiquitin was extracted from testis of 4 mammals and purified to homogeneity by gel filtration chromatography. Amino acid compositions and NH2-terminal sequences were found to be identical in the 4 species and with calf thymus ubiquitin. Ubiquitin conformation was shown to be very sensitive to oxidation. Improved meth...
