Abstract

The biological effects of the peptide and protein fractions of human brain extract are examined using anEscherichia coli culture as a simple and adequate test system. Both fractions bind superoxide radical and N-ethylmaleimide, the protein fraction being more active than the peptide fraction. In addition, the protein fraction inhibits the growth of the bacteria.
