Abstract
The investigation of inulin‐induced conversion of human factor B in serum by isoelectrofocusing revealed physiological modifications in the primary structure of the Ba fragment. Evidence has been obtained that a nascent Ba, generated by the hydrolytic action of the D component on B in serum, was a short‐lived product and that a fast release of carboxy‐terminal arginine and lysine residues occurred involving a serum carboxypeptidase B enzyme.
