Chemical Modification of Tryptophan Residues in Abrin-a.
Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1991 Chemical modification of tryptophan residues in abrin-a with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) was studied with regard to saccharide-binding. The number of tryptophan residues available for NBS oxidation increased with lowering pH, and 11 out of the 13 tryptophan residues in abrin-a were eventually modified with NBS at pH 4.0, while 6 tryptophan residues were ...
