Essay

The object of investigation is thiamine-binding proteins. The aim is isolation, identification and comparative characterization of the thiamine-binding proteins from rat brain, liver and kidney. It is the first time the thiamine-binding proteins from rat liver and kidney have been isolated by methods of protein chemistry and compared to protein from rat brain, which was described earlier. It is found that these proteins do not differ by molecular weight, subunit structure and amino acid composition. The specific interaction between proteins and thiamine is shown; proteins also hydrolyze phosphoric esters of thiamine. These functions are universal for all tissues that are investigated. Field of application: scientific and educational institutions of biological profile.
