Ulf Lindahl - A personal voyage through the proteoglycan field

Proteoglycans (PGs) are proteins substituted with sulfated polysaccharide (glycosaminoglycan, GAG) chains. My selection of the PG research area occurred by sheer accident. During the course in medical biochemistry, part of the medical curriculum (1959, at the old department on Dag Hammarskjölds väg, opposite to the hospital)... Läs hela artikeln

This kind of histidine modification was unknown at that time, but a year later Paul D. Boyer et al. at the University of Minnesota reported the isolation of phosphohistidine from bovine liver mitochondria... Läs hela artikeln
