An Electrophoretic Investigation of Groundnut Proteins: The Structure of Arachins a and B

Abstract: 1. The proteins of the groundnut cotyledon have been fractionated and analysed by DEAE-Sephadex chromatography and acrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Seventeen components were detected. 2. A new method is described for the preparation of arachin, using calcium precipitation. The product contains at least 99% of arachin. 3. The theory of acrylamide-gel electrophoresis is developed and applied to the arachin system to predict the molecular weight of one sub-unit of arachin. 4. A variant form of arachin, arachin B, … Show more

“…25 , 26 1 However, our results suggest that the subunit compositions of the arachin II dimer are the same as those of arachin I. So the difference between the dimers of arachins I and II in the dissociation system will not be derived from the difference in the subunit composition.…”

“…I n particular the value derived from tryptic peptides is about 20°/, high. This discrepancy could be due to limited polymorphism in the arginine and lysine sequences but the precision of the method is insufficient to justify such a conclusion although there is some evidence for polymorphism in other seed proteins [30,31]. To determine the sub-unit ratio we have used two methods neither of which gives an absolute answer and both of which require a number of assumptions.…”
