The salt-soluble proteins from rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), variety Nugget, have been extracted with 0.01 M sodium pyrophosphate (pH 7.0) and with 10% sodium chloride, and subsequently separated into a number of components. There are two major proteins in the pyrophosphate salt extract, one is neutral (the 12 S protein) and the other is basic (the 1.7 S protein). They constitute 30% of the nitrogen in the extract. There are nine other minor components in this extract. The 10% sodium chloride extract contains a water-insoluble protein (the 12 S protein) which constitutes 21% of the nitrogen in the extract and appears to be similar in properties to the 12 S protein in the pyrophosphate salt extract. This protein, upon sedimentation analysis in 6 M urea solution and in 0.1 M glycine–HCl buffer (pH 2.2), appeared to be an aggregate of units of smaller molecular weight.
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.
