C‐Phycocyanin Monomer Molecular Weight [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1971 The monomer molecular weight of C‐phycocyanin from three different algal sources was investigated. The techniques used for determining molecular weight included high speed sedimentation equilibrium, osmotic pressure measurements in 6 M guanidine hydrochloride, and cyanogen bromide peptide analysis.
