| - | Ovalbumin has <scene name='Sandbox-moshe/Cysteine_residues/1'>four cysteine residues and a single cystine disulfide bridge</scene> (Stevens 1991). Electrophoretic separation shows three ovalbumin bands (Lush 1961). These three bands correspond to the dephosphorylated, monophosphorylated, and diphosphorylated forms. The phosphorylation sites are Ser68 and Ser344. A carbohydrate moiety is linked through Asn292. The N-terminus is acetylated. Two polymorphic forms of ovalbumin are known (ovalbumin A and ovalbumin B). Ovalbumin A has an asparagine at position 311, while ovalbumin B has an aspartic acid (Stevens 1991). | + | Ovalbumin has <scene name='Sandbox-moshe/Cysteine_residues/1'>four cysteine residues and a single cystine disulfide bridge</scene> (Stevens 1991).

Chelating prevents the absorption of the metals into the gastrointestinal tract and prevents poisoning. |
