The 43-kilodalton protein of Torpedo nicotinic postsynaptic membranes: purification and determination of primary structure.

abstract：:The inhibitory effects of urea on the normally rapid fibrillation of human calcitonin (hCT) were investigated by 1H NMR. From subtle differences in the chemical shift of hCT in the presence and absence of urea, the occurrence of weak interactions between urea and hCT was confirmed. The chemical shifts on the NH and C ...
