An improved apparatus and procedures for starch-gel electrophoresis of proteins of wheat flour are described; highly reproducible separation of the protein components was achieved. By starch-gel electrophoresis it was shown that similar protein components occur in the extracts of wheat flour obtained with a variety of solvents; however, there were marked differences in the proportions of these components in various extracts. Several protein components were present in the fJ'actions separated by ion-exchange chromatography of' the proteins soluble in Bodium pyrophosphate and of those soluble in acetic acid; some fractions containeda number of similar protein components.

1. Salt-soluble rat skin collagen was precipitated from solution at neutral pH and 37°. On cooling, a portion of the collagen returned into solution. The fractions were separated, the supernatant was concentrated and the precipitate was redissolved in dilute acetic acid. 2. Solutions of supernatant and precipitate were subjected to the same fractionation procedure, giving four fractions. 3. Each fraction was examined by starch-gel electrophoresis and a relationship between subunit composition and the fractionation procedure was noted. The collagen that redissolved on cooling contained less of the more highly cross-linked components than did either the fraction remaining in the precipitate or the starting material.

A slow (less anionic) hemoglobin mutant has been detected by starch gel electrophoresis of hemoglobin from three unrelated patients in Bangkok. Dissociation of the abnormal hemoglobin with p-hydroxymercuribenzoate showed that the α-chain was the site of the mutation. The mutant α-chain was isolated by carboxymethylcellulose chromatography in 8 M urea and 0.05 M β-mercaptoethanol. Peptide maps of trypsin and cyanogen bromide cleaved α-chain indicated that the amino acid alteration of the mutant was in the peptide corresponding to residues 62–76 of the α-chain. Further cleavage of this peptide with 0.25 M acetic acid at 110 °C showed that residue 74 was changed from an aspartyl to a histidyl residue, a mutation not previously described. It is proposed that this new hemoglobin α274His β2A be called hemoglobin Mahidol after Mahidol University in Bangkok. In one of the three patients showing hemoglobin Mahidol, interaction with α-thalassemia occurs and, in this patient, hemoglobin A is totally absent, being replaced by hemoglobin Mahidol together with some hemoglobin H (β4A).

SummaryWhen urea or ε-amino caproic acid were used as solublizing agents for plasminogen in electrophoretic experiments, only one broad band of the proenzyme was obtained on acetate cellulose, in starch block, and in acrylamide gel. In starch gel electrophoresis, however, both forms of plasminogen – the native or euglobulin and Kline’s or Pseudoglobulin plasminogen – separated into six bands. These migrated toward the cathode at room temperature in borate or veronal buffer in the alkaline range and showed full activity in fibrinagar-streptokinase plates.

ABSTRACT The isozymic patterns of tyrosine aminotransferase, NADP malate dehydrogenase, NADP isocitrate dehydrogenase, and tetrazolium oxidase were examined by starch-gel electrophoresis in Tetrahymena pyriformis, syngen 1. The genetics of the alleles controlling these enzymes was studied through a breeding program. Each enzyme locus was shown to assort vegetatively, as do other loci in this organism. A detailed analysis of the assortment process for the tyrosine aminotransferase locus indicated that the rate of stabilization of heterozygotes into pure types was essentially identical to previously-reported rates for other loci.

By varying conditions of starch gel electrophoresis, factors contributing to the resolution of myogen proteins from chicken breast muscle have been studied. Variables examined included composition of the myogen extractant, protein concentration, ionic strength of electrophoretic media, pH of gel media, plane and direction of electrophoresis, and the nature of cations and anions in gel media and bridge solutions. The significance of anions was more closely studied with constant buffer systems, and gradient systems in which bridge electrolyte differed from, and gradually altered, the gel medium. Optimal separation was obtained in gradient systems with 0.10 M sodium chloride bridge solutions, and gel media of sodium cacodylate, pH 6.9, μ 0.010, which resolved 12 cationic zones, and sodium veronal, pH 7.4, μ 0.010, which resolved 10 anionic zones. These buffers in two-dimensional sequence revealed a total of about 24 components in this myogen.

Examination of 17 presumptive gene loci by starch-gel electrophoresis revealed differential mobilities only at acid phosphatase-1, alcohol dehydrogenase, esterase-1, and phosphoglucomutase between Nocomis biguttatus and N. micropogon. No intraspecific variation was observed for any loci. The genetic identity (I) and genetic distance (D) were 0.874 and 0.134, respectively. The correlation of electrophoretic mobilities and nuptial tubercle pattern in sexually dimorphic males supports the present taxonomic distinction of these species and provides a simple, unambiguous means of identifying any individuals.Stepwise discriminant function analysis of a series of mensural characters was used to compare fish identified as to species by electrophoresis. At best this correctly assigned fish to their respective species in 85.7% of cases, with a probability of misclassification of 0.1335.This study suggests these two are sibling species, based on a comparison of biochemical and morphological differentiation.
