The NH2-terminal 134 amino-acid fragment of the reduced-carbamidomethylated human somatropin molecule is found to react noncovalently with the COOH-terminal 51 amino-acid fragment in solutions of pH 8.4 at 2 degrees to restore full biological activity as evidenced by the rat tibia and pigeon crop-sac assays. In addition, circular dichroism spectra of the recombinant show the conformation to be completely repaired in comparison with that of the native hormone.
还原氨甲酰甲基化人生长激素分子的氨基末端134个氨基酸片段在pH 8.4、2℃的溶液中与羧基末端51个氨基酸片段发生非共价反应,恢复了全部生物活性,大鼠胫骨和鸽嗉囊试验证明了这一点。此外,重组体的圆二色光谱显示,与天然激素相比,其构象已完全修复。
