摘要：

C9 is the most abundant protein of the membrane attack complex of complement, By means of limited proteolysis, different chromatographic techniques, a thiol-specific fluorescence assay, amino acid analysis, and Edman degradation, 9 out of 12 disulfide bridges are definitely assigned (Cys(22)-Cys(57), Cys(33)-Cys(36), Cys(67)-Cys(73), Cys(121)-Cys(160), Cys(233)-Cys(234), Cys(359)-Cys(384), Cys(489)-Cys(505), Cys(492)-Cys(507), Cys(509)-Cys(518)), Weaker evidence permits to reduce the number of possible configurations for the remaining 3 cystines (Cys(80)-Cys(91), Cys(86)-Cys(104), Cys(98)-Cys(113), or Cys(80)-Cys(91), Cys(86)-Cys(113), Cys(98)-Cys(104)). These findings are disussed in comparison with the strongly related components C6, C7, C8 alpha, and C8 beta.
