Popis: | Extensive proteolysis is observed when red blood cells are exposed to free radicals produced in the thermolysis of 2,2'-azo-bis(2-amidinopropane). It is evaluated that nearly one amino terminal group is produced by each free radical introduced into the system. These groups are considered to arise mainly from band 3 fragmentation due to the action of red cell proteinases. Protein fragmentation takes place prior to significant hemolysis or lipid peroxidation, as evaluated by thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances measurements. |
