title: [Formation of glycated recombinant leghemoglobin in Escherichia coli cells].
abstract: A nonenzymatic glycation of the recombinant leghemoglobin expressed in Escherichia coli cells was demonstrated for the first time. This process involved the heme pocket and gave low-spin leghemoglobin species. A correlation between the degree of E. coli protein glycation and synthesis of poly-beta-hydroxybutyric acid was found, suggesting that the accumulation of reserve carbon sources and nonenzymatic glycation could be alternative processes.
