[Isolation and identification of N-terminal fragments of the A-alpha chain of bovine fibrinogen]

Abstract

A method is suggested to obtain and purify N-end fragments of A alpha-chain from bovine fibrinogen. To identify the N-end chain fragments the fluorescent properties of tryptophan and tyrosine composing them as well as hydrolysis by ancistron H, a thrombin-like enzyme of the snake venom, have been used for the first time.
