“…Attempts to identify specific amino acid residues of colipase essential for activity were first made by studying the properties of chemically modified proteins (Erlanson, 1977;Erlanson et al, 1977;Erlanson-Albertsson, 1980;De Car0 et al, 1983) and by using biophysical methods including ultraviolet spectrophotometry, fluorescence spectrometry and 'H-NMR (Sari et al, 1975(Sari et al, , 1978Canioni et al, 1979Canioni et al, , 1980Canioni and Cozzone, 1979a,b;Cozzone, 1976;Cozzone et al, 1981;Granon, 1986;Granon et al, 1981;McIntyre et al, 1987;Wieloch and Falk, 1978;Wieloch et al, 1979). NMR studies on procolipase and its trypsin-treated derivative included pH titration of the proteins, determination of pK values of ionizable groups and identification and preliminary sequential assignment of aromatic sidechain protons.…”
