Sequence Studies on Bence Jones Proteins [PDF]
One Bence Jones protein and two Bence Jones fragments (fragmentary chains) of K type, and one Bence Jones protein and two fragments of L type have been analyzed. These proteins have been aminoethylated and digested with proteolytic enzymes. The resulting peptides were separated by different procedures.The peptides obtained were analyzed and could be ...

Binding of Calcium to Bence-Jones Proteins.
SummaryDeterminations of calcium ion activities by potentiometric measurements using permselective sulfonated polystyrenecollodion membranes indicate that calcium is not very strongly bound by Bence-Jones protein. It is concluded that bone destruction frequently associated with plasma cell proliferation in patients who have multiple myeloma cannot be ...
