abstract：:There is considerable evidence that mammalian beta-tubulin is phosphorylated. Specifically, of the seven beta isotypes, the phosphorylated one is beta III, the isotype found almost entirely in neurons. The phosphate is added at a serine and perhaps a tyrosine near the C-terminus. All the evidence to date has been gath...

abstract：:The mammalian iron-binding proteins lactoferrin (Lf) and transferrin (Tf) bind iron very tightly, but reversibly. Despite homologous structures and essentially identical iron binding sites, Tf begins to release iron at pH 6.0, whereas Lf retains iron to pH approximately 3.5. This difference in iron retention gives the...
