Intrachain disulphide bridges in immunoglobulin G heavy chains. The Fc fragment [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1968
The disulphide bridges of the Fc fragment (C-terminal half of the heavy chain) have been studied in several human immunoglobulins, containing heavy chains of different antigenic types (γ1, γ2, γ3 and γ4), and in heavy-chain-disease proteins. Two intrachain disulphide bridges were found to be present.

Reversible Dissociation of Fragment Fc of Rabbit γG-Immunoglobulin

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1966
Abstract Crystallized Fragment Fc of rabbit γG-globulin, prepared by digestion with papain in the presence of 0.05 m l-cysteine, dissociates into half-fragments in 0.05 m NaCl at pH 2.7. Dissociation is approximately half-complete at pH 3.1. The conditions are similar to those required for dissociation of γG-globulin into half-molecules, which supports
