Does deamidation of N76 in human γS-crystallin promote dimer formation?
Deamidation causes a decrease in stability of γS-crystallin but this is offset by an increased tendency for dimer formation.
The effects on protein and lipid metabolism following the injection of rhGH last longer than 36 and less than 60 h. In fact, rhGH administration on alternate days induced a sustained increase in the rates of protein synthesis and lipolysis of GHD adults, whereas a longer interval of administration (3 days) had no effect by 60 h.
