Methionine fibrinogen

Globulins are insoluble or sparingly soluble in water, but their solubility is greatly increased by the addition of neutral salts such as sodium chloride. These proteins are coagulated by heat. They are deficient in methionine. Example -Serum globulin. Fibrinogen, Myosin of muscle and Globulins of pulses. 

The figures suggest that a considerable proportion of the sulfur may be present as methionine, the epidermis being comparable with fibrinogen where cystine and methionine are about equal in quantity (56). Though the measurements are as yet few it is probably very important to pay close attention to the relative quantities of cystine- and methionine-sulfur in different types of epidermis. 

The amino acid composition of fibrinogen is characterized by rather high proportions of residues containing sulfur and also hydroxyl groups (Brand, 1944,1946). On the basis of a molecular weight of 500,000, the number of residues per molecule of human fibrinogen is 113 of cysteine and half-cystine, 85 of methionine, 395 of serine, 277 of threonine, and...

In the protein of another dog killed after the lapse of 30 hours, the sulfur replacement percentage in fibrin was found to be 0.15, in pseudoglobulin and albumin 0.14 and 0.16, respectively. As for liver proteins, the replacement percentage was found to be 0.16. The methionine administered has about the same chance to be present, after the lapse of 30 hours, in liver, fibrinogen, pseudoglobulin, and albumin proteins.
