Popis: Since human serum albumin has one sulfhydryl group and 17 disulfides, reactive sulfhydryl groups give rise to heterogeneity. The present paper presents a comparison of sulfhydryl heterogeneity in human serum albumin and recombinant human serum albumin for clinical use. Low molecular weight sulfhydryl compounds were identified from both sources. The recombinant albumin had a much higher sulfhydryl content than plasma serum albumin.
