MORPHOLOGICAL, NUTRACEUTICAL AND CHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF GLOBE ARTICHOKE (CYNARA CARDUNCULUS L. VAR. SCOLYMUS (L.) FIORI) LANDRACES TYPICALLY CULTIVATED IN MARCHE AREA
ABSTRACT
A protein isolated from ovine pituitary glands has been purified, and its homogeneity assessed by NH2- and COOH-terminal amino acid determination, ultracentrifugation studies, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after carboxymethylation. Its chemical and immunochemical properties are closely similar to those of beef and pork neurophysins, less similar to those of human neurophysins. It contains no tryptophan (like other neurophysins) or histidine (like all except bovine neurophysin-I and human neurophysins). It has alanine at the NH2-terminus and valine at the COOH-terminus. Its amino acid composition is similar to, but not identical with those of porcine and bovine neurophysins.
