title: Molecular weights and Stokes radii of soluble elastins.
abstract: Soluble elastin was isolated from lathyritic chick aorta using neutral salt solutions in the presence of beta-amino propionitrile. The effect of a carboxy-methylation step in conjunction with proteolytic inhibitors was investigated. Hydrodynamic (Stokes) radii of soluble elastins were measured by gel filtration and the molecular size and weight distribution in purified fractions are reported.
