conclusions the growth rate of information in bioinformatics databases could facilitate studies of live organisms prior to observation studies. two different protein classes could be causative agents of one disease. however, two related diseases from one disease group could consist of different protein classes. future research in the field of proteomics could allow modern insight to reshuffling...

Myelin membranes prepared from rat brain possess both the enzyme and substrates to incorporate azP from (ya2P]ATP into membrane protein constituents. Qf the myelin polypeptides, only the two basic proteins were phosphorylated ; and both components appeared to be equally good substrates for endogenous or added protein kinases. The a2P was transferred primarily to serine residues of the basic pro...

The near-neighbor relationships of proteins in the myelin membrane were examined using dinitrodifluorobenzene and other cross-linking reagents. When intact cat dorsal column or isolated myelin fragments were treated with cross-linking reagents, up to 20% of the myelin basic protein dimerized. The only other cross-linked product formed in the intact cat dorsal column was a heterodimer consisting...

Myelin fractions with different degrees of compaction were isolated from bovine brain, and post-translational methylation of membrane-associated proteins was studied. When the purified myelin-basic-protein-specific protein methylase I and S-adenosyl-L-[methyl-14C]methionine were added exogenously, the most compact myelin fraction exhibited higher methyl-accepting activity than the less compact ...
