Expression of human insulin-like growth factor I in bacteria: use of optimized gene fusion vectors to facilitate protein purification.

abstract：:The paramagnetic enhancements in the NMR relaxation rates for the fluorine in fluorophthalates have been used to determine the position of the phthalate with respect to the mononuclear metal ion in native and metal-substituted derivatives of phthalate dioxygenase (PDO). These studies show directly that the substrate i...
