Notes:
Spectrophotometric studies of nickel-transfusion gelatin complex in presence of increasing amounts of various metal ions viz., Cu++, Co++, Zn++, Cd++ and Pb++ were undertaken to know the binding of these metal ions to the protein under biuret conditions. Studies carried out at pH 12.0 indicated that these metal ions combined with nitrogen of the peptide linkage replacing nickel from its complex. The amount with which a particular metal ions lower the extinction coefficient of the nickel complex may be taken as a measure of the extent of its combination to the protein, and the relative decrease in the extinction coefficient by equal amounts of various metal ions has been interpreted in terms of their order of affinities for the nitrogen of the peptide linkage.
