Peptides bound to albumin.
Preparations of albumin (placenta or serum) do bind peptides. Dissociation of these peptides from the albumin core can occur partially in water but is much more efficient in the presence of amino acids and salts, in complex culture media for example. Contrary to common belief, we observed that arginine vasopressin (AVP) can bind to serum albumin, at least in commercial powder form.
