The genes encoding the glycinin subunits G2 and G4 were molecularly manipulated and modified to test the possibility of increasing the nutritional value of soybean seed proteins. The recombinant DNAs pSP65/G2HG4, pSP65/G4HG2, pSP65/248 Metl, pSP65/248 Met2,3 and pSP65/248 Metl.2,3 were used in in vitro translation to produce (i) chimeric proteins consisting of reciprocally exchanged acidic and ...
