“…The absorbancy measured at 280 m/i was virtually identical with that calculated for complete reaction of the carboxyl terminus, assuming en 1300 for each of the 3 tyrosine residues and cm 17,500 for the acylthiohydantoin. Haurowitz et al (1957), using radioactive ammonium thiocyanate, had shown previously that one to two NCS residues per molecule were incorporated into insulin, ribonuclease, chymotrypsin, and lysozyme, consistent with a good yield of carboxylterminal thiohydantoin and little reaction elsewhere.…”
