title: Methemoglobin reductase: inactivation and protection against inactivation during disc gel electrophoresis.
abstract: Methemoglobin reductase was found to be inactivated during electrophoresis on ammonium persulfate polymerized polyacrylamide gels. Hemoglobin in various states of ligation offers protection from inactivation. Thiols such as dithiothreitol also offer protection but the effect due to hemoglobin is not provided by its sulfhydryl groups.
