The authors deal with chemical and physico-chemical changes in casein and vegetable globulins after reaction with aldehydes or acylation with carboxylic acid chlorides and anhydrides. The stepwise blocking of the alpha- and epsilon-amino groups leads to modified proteins with lowered isoelectric points and changes in the solubility and precipitability characteristics and in the electrophoretic behaviour. There are relationships between the relative nutritive value (as determined by means of Tetrahymena pyriformis) and the blocking of lysine. On acylation of the protein, the relative nutritive value is influenced by the length of the acyl residue and the kind of modification (N or O-blocking).
In den in der vorliegenden Arbeit beschriebenen Versuchen wurde die selektive Acylierung der Hydroxy‐ und Aminogruppen von Casein vorgenommen und der Nährwert der Acylderivate mit Hilfe des Testorganismus Tetrahymena pyriformis abgeschätzt. Es wurde gezeigt, daß die Acylierung der Hydroxygruppen den Nährwert des Eiweißes nicht herabsetzt, während die Acylierung der Aminogruppen diese Kennziffer wesentlich verringert. Die Acylierung mit langkettigen Fettsäuren erhöht den Nährwert des Eiweißes unabhängig von der Acylierungsrichtung.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
