摘要: Abstract The complete amino acid sequence of a type L Bence-Jones protein (an immunoglobulin λ light chain) has been determined, including the location disulfide bridges. chains, like k are subject to extensive variation in primary structure NH2-terminal half, but COOH-terminal portion appears be invariant. When aligned achieve maximum homology, about 40% residues identical human and chains. Genetic conservation main polypeptide chain conformation is reflected similar bridges chains similarity around half-cystine throughout entire molecule.
