The binding of Ca to human plasma fibronectin was measured by equilibrium dialysis at 25.degree. C in 0.1 M NaCl 50 mM Tris HCL, pH 7.4. Curve fitting of the binding data indicates that fibronectin has 2 strong Ca binding sites per chain (MW 220,000), Kd = 1.3 mM and .apprx. 12 weak sites, Kd = 2.3 mM. No significant displacement of bound Fe by Mg was observed at Mg concentrations up to 1 mM. Ca binding to a pair of tryptic fragments of fibronectin (MW .simeq. 160,000 and 180,000) that bind to gelatin was investigated. These fragments have a single class of Ca binding sites, with 2.2 sites per chain, Kd = 1.1 mM. Negligible Ca binding to tryptic fragments derived from other regions of the fibronectin molecule was observed.
