Structure Of Proteins

In recent years the X-ray crystallographers have made remarkable advances in the interpretation of protein structure, and it is becoming more and more evident that a stage has been reached when their views need to be reconciled with data obtained from accurate amino-acid analysis of the proteins concerned. In all too many cases these data are, unfortunately, not yet available, and the reason why the analyst cannot supply them at short notice is due not so much to the com­plexity of the problem—which he has never sought to minimize—but to the fact that many of the more important methods of analysis in current use are an inheritance from an earlier period when such accuracy as is now demanded would have been considered almost impossible of achievement. From about 1840 until 1900, following the lead given by Liebig and later by Ritthausen, the attention of protein chemists was centred chiefly on the prepara­tion and characterization of various animal and seed proteins; as substances of physiological interest their enzymic digestion products were studied in elaborate detail by Kühne, but little attention was paid to the ultimate decomposition products, the amino-acids, in spite of the fact that Ritthausen as early as 1872 had pointed out that the proportions in which these occur might be characteristic of the protein concerned. The enunciation by Hofmeister and Fischer of the peptide hypothesis in 1901 emphasized for the first time the fundamental importance of the amino-acids, and a most fruitful period followed in which attention became almost exclusively focused on these products. Under the inspiring leadership of Fischer himself great improvements were effected in the separation and identification of the amino-acids, so that by about 1915 reasonably good analyses were available for most of the better-known proteins. Though far from complete, the analytical data showed quite clearly that proteins could differ widely in composition, and in many cases it was possible to correlate composition with nutritive value. Such an aim was, indeed, the incentive behind much of the work of this period.

Essential Amino Acid Content

The essential amino acid content of a number of the weed seeds found in refuse screenings is reported. In terms of nutritive value the weed seed proteins are comparable with those contained in soybean, flax and rape seed. The results reported lend support to the view that properly processed refuse screenings is a satisfactory feeding stuff for the ruminant animal.

The carambola or star fruit is native to Southeast Asia. It was introduced to Florida about 100 years ago. This 4-page fact sheet is a major revision that discusses availability, selection, uses, nutritive value, and food safety during preparation of carambola. This document also includes several recipes.

Nine accessions of Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.,syn. Voandzeia subterranea (L.) Thouars ex DC.)  obtained from National Centre for Genetic Resources and Biotechnology (NACGRAB), Ibadan, Oyo state, were assessed for their genetic and phylogenetic relatedness through electrophoretic analysis of the seed proteins. 0.2g of the seeds were weighed and macerated with mortar and pestle in 0.2M phosphate buffer containing 0.133M of acid (NaH2PO4) and 0.067 of base (Na2HPO4) at pH 6.5. Protein characterization with standard marker revealed that the seeds of the nine accessions contained proteins (B.S.A, Oval Albumin, Pepsinogen, Trypsinogen and Lysozyme) with molecular weights ranging from 66kda and above, 45 – 65 kDa, 44 – 33 kda, 32-24 kDa and 23-14 kDa, respectively. The student T-test revealed that accessions B, C, E, F, H and I have molecular weights not significantly different from one another (P<0.05) while samples A, D and G showed significantly different values (P>0.05). All the accessions had at least two proteins and two major bands in common. The study revealed intra-specific similarities and genetic diversity in protein contents among the nine accessions of Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterraranea (L.) Verdc.syn
