Dissociation and Reassembly of Limulus polyphemus Hemocyanin [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1979 Limulus polyphemus hemocyanin is a 3.3 × 106‐Mr protein containing 48 subunits in an assemblage of eight hexamers. The molecule can be dissociated into monomers and dimers at pH 8.9 in the presence of 0.01 M EDTA. These subunits are heterogeneous and can be separated into five zones (I–V) by DEAE‐Sephadex chromatography.Reassembly experiments were ...
