Abstract
Conditions leading to the cleavage of both disulfide bridges in human growth hormone caused the reduction of only one disulfide bond in bovine growth hormone. Partially reduced and alkylated derivatives of bovine growth hormone were prepared and characterized. It was shown that the reduction and alkylation modified the COOH-terminal disulfide bond, however, this modification does not result in the dissociation of the dimeric form of bovine growth hormone or cause a significant loss of growth-promoting activity.Keywords
