Origin and Properties of Target Organ Estradiol Binders

Researchers at the Max-Planck-Institut fur Zellbiologie in Wilhelmshaven Germany have studied the characteristics of mammalian target organ estradiol binders of extranuclear (XA A) and nuclear (B AB) origin. The results of the experiments are depicted in graphs which are accompanied by descriptions of procedure. Jungeblut leads a discussion considering questions raised by the paper and a more general discussion of methodology of study and theory in the area of estrogen binding.
