ABSTRACT:
A novel functionally active derivative of cobra venom factor is described in which the .beta.-chain has been cleaved by treatment with a protease. Gel electrophoretic analyses of the purified derivative revealed the absence of an intact .beta.-chain and a decrease of the molecular weight.
