title: Separation, isolation, and amino acid composition of the albumin-like fraction from psoriatic scales.
abstract: The albumin-like fraction of psoriatic scales was isolated either directly by slab gel electroporesis or after previous treatment with polyethylene glycol6000. After both isolation procedures the amino acid composition was determined. Both proteins were rich of glutamic acid, glycine, and alanine. On the other hand both contained very small amounts of cysteine and tyrosine. Only after the direct isolation procedure the amino-sugar galactosamine could be detected.
