Summary
-
I.
On Cyanogum (Polyacrylamid) human myoglobin can be seperated in five fractions.
-
II.
The mean value of the different fractions is53, 26, 14, 5 and 2%.
-
III.
Myoglobin from human heart and skeletal musculature appears to be identical.
-
IV.
There are no spectrophotometric or electrophoretic differences between the myoglobin of adults, newborn children or human fetuses. The existence of a “fetal myoglobin” can not be demonstrated with the methods employed.
Zusammenfassung
-
I.
Auf Polyacrylamid kann menschliches Cyan-Met-Myoglobin in fünf Fraktionen getrennt werden.
-
II.
Die Konzentration der einzelnen Fraktionen beträgt im Mittel 53, 26, 14, 5 und 2% der Gesamtchromoproteinkonzentration.
-
III.
Das Myoglobin, gewonnen aus dem Herz- und Skeletmuskel erwachsener Menschen, ist identisch.
-
IV.
Es bestehen keine spektralen oder elektrophoretischen Unterschiede zwischen dem Myoglobin erwachsener Menschen, neugeborener Kinder und menschlicher Feten. Es kann somit die Existenz eines „fetalen Myoglobins“ nicht nachgewiesen werden.
