Immunochemical Reactions of Conalbumin and its Metal Complexes

Abstract

IMMUNOCHEMICAL methods have been extensively used in protein chemistry for the elucidation of structural changes in proteins. More recently, this method has been successfully used to demonstrate possible conformational and configurational changes in the protein molecule as a result of its interaction with small molecules and prosthetic groups1,2. Immunochemical differences, for example, have been reported for horse oxyhaemoglobin and deoxyhaemoglobin, as well as for metmyoglobin and apomyoglobin1,2.
