Abstract: | Reduced glutenin is separated by gel permeation high-performance liquid chromatography into three major and five minor fractions, which significantly differ in their amino acid compositions. By reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography, about 20 glutenin components are obtained. These can be classified into three groups according to their amino acid compositions: a hydrophilic group with relatively high values of Glx and Phe, a more hydrophobic group with a high content of Gly, and a strongly hydrophobic group with higher values of Val and Leu. Groups 1, 2 and 3 contain middle-, high- and low-molecular-weight (MMW-, HMW-, LMW-) subunits respectively. |
