  • Title: Partial non-cleavage by cyanogen bromide of a methionine--cystine bond from human serum albumin and bovine alpha-lactalbumin.
    Author: Doyen N, Lapresle C.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1979 Jan 01; 177(1):251-4. PubMed ID: 426771.
    Abstract:
    When human albumin was treated with CNBr, a fragment designated D was obtained and attributed to the absence from some of the albumin molecules of methionine at position 123 [Lapresle & Doyen (1975) Biochem. J. 151, 637-643]. The present study shows that methionine-123 is converted into homoserine without cleavage of the subsequent methionine-cystine bond. With bovine alpha-lactalbumin, a further example of non-cleavage of a methionine-cystine bond with conversion of methionine into homoserine is reported.
