Uteroferrin resonance Raman

Resonance Raman spectra of one-iron preparations of uteroferrin and the splenic acid phosphatase show that tyrosine is a ligand.826 The intense visible spectra of these proteins is due to tyrosine - Fem charge-transfer transitions. Two or three tyrosine residues are implicated. [Pg.636]

Resonance Raman scattering spectroscopy within the visible absorption band of uteroferrin, a glycoprotein of the porcine uterus, results in an intense Raman spectrum that is similar to that of transferrin, indicating similarities in the metal binding sites of the two macromolecules. ... [Pg.367]
