Complete solubilization of bovine heart-valve gollagen was obtained by using sequential pepsin digestion and extraction with dithiothreitol under non-denaturing conditions. Use of the reducing agent was the crucial step resulting in solubilization. These findings suggest that disulphide-bonded proteins may be in part responsible for the insolubility of bovine heart-valve collagen.
在非变性条件下,通过连续用胃蛋白酶消化并用二硫苏糖醇提取,实现了牛心脏瓣膜胶原蛋白的完全溶解。使用还原剂是实现溶解的关键步骤。这些发现表明,二硫键结合的蛋白质可能部分导致了牛心脏瓣膜胶原蛋白的不溶性。
