The role of seed proteins, especially soyabean 7S globulins, in controlling dyslipidaemia is widely acknowledged. Amino acid sequence homology among the proteins of this family could reflect similar biological functions in other species. The aim of the present study was to unveil a hypolipidaemic effect of the 7S globulins from cowpeas (7S-C) and adzuki beans (7S-A), administered orally to rats...

After the fermentation of bovine milk by lactic acid bacteria, rennet was added, and then the curd was formed by incubating at 30°C for 12 hours in the presence of soy protein isolate (SI) or 7S globulin (7S). Cheese was produced from the cooked curd. The texture of the curd and the cheese was studied by break down and cutting tests, respectively. In the break down test of the curd, the order o...

Two classes of 7S gamma-globulins are identified in normal mouse serum and are designated 7S gamma(2)-globulins and 7S gamma(1)-globulins. These two immunoglobulin classes are similar in size. They differ in range of electrophoretic mobility, in specific antigenic determinants, and in genetically determined isoantigens. Four classes of immunoglobulins in mouse serum, i.e. 7S gamma(2)-, 7S gamma...

Seed protein quality is an important topic in the production of soybean. The quality of soybean proteins is limited by anti-nutrient proteins and low levels of essential sulfur amino acids. In this study, protein content and solubility of six cultivars were evaluated and seed storage proteins were analyzed using SDS-PAGE and scanning densitometry. The results showed that seed storage protein ba...

With a view to improved parity violation measurements in Cs, we have considered the 6S-7S-6P3/2 « forbidden three-level system », in which one laser excites the forbidden 6S-7S transition while a second, colinear laser probes the excited 7S atoms. This paper presents an analytical calculation of the 7S ~ 6P 1⁄2 fluorescence intensity and of the probe amplification as functions of the laser freq...

Two major proteins (the 7S and 11S globulins) of soybean (Glycine max) were simultaneously isolated by a simple method based on their different solubilities in dilute tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane buffers. The purified 7S globulins, which represented essentially the entire 7S soybean protein fraction capable of dimerization at 0.1 ionic strength, were fractionated into five components by di...
