Molecular properties of food allergens
TL;DR: Although the authors cannot as yet predict the allergenicity of a given food protein, understanding of the molecular properties that might predispose them to becoming allergens is an important first step and will undoubtedly contribute to the integrative allergenic risk assessment process being adopted by regulators.

The major proteins of lupin seed : Characterisation and molecular properties for use as functional and nutraceutical ingredients
TL;DR: This review deals with the main proteins of white lupin seed and reports on the current knowledge of the structural and functional properties of these proteins with the aim of providing the first comprehensive, accurate and up-to-date survey on this topic.

Proteins of White Lupin Seed, a Naturally Isoflavone-Poor Legume, Reduce Cholesterolemia in Rats and Increase LDL Receptor Activity in HepG2 Cells
Cesare R. Sirtori,Maria Rosa Lovati,Cristina Manzoni,Silvia Castiglioni,Marcello Duranti,Chiara Magni,Sheila Morandi,Alessandra D’Agostina,Anna Arnoldi +8 more
TL;DR: Lupin, although isoflavone free, has hypocholesterolemic activity similar to that of other leguminous proteins in an established animal model, and the cholesterol reduction appears to be associated with stimulation of LDL receptors by a well-defined protein component of the lupin seeds as demonstrated by in vitro studies.

Conglutin gamma, a lupin seed protein, binds insulin in vitro and reduces plasma glucose levels of hyperglycemic rats.
Chiara Magni,Fabio Sessa,Elena Accardo,Marco Vanoni,Paolo Morazzoni,Alessio Scarafoni,Marcello Duranti +6 more
TL;DR: The effect of the oral administration of conglutin gamma on the glycemic levels of rats subjected to glucose overloading was a statistically significant reduction in glycemia comparable to that of metformin, a well-known glucose lowering drug.

Proteins of some legume seeds: soybean, pea, fababean and lupin
J. Gueguen,P. Cerletti +1 more
TL;DR: Soybean has been for many decades the only leguminous crop on which significant research has been undertaken, and the intensive research programmes, especially developed in Japan and in the USA, largely contributed to the interests of most countries world-wide for this crop.

Determination of serum proteins by means of the biuret reaction.
TL;DR: An investigation of the biochemical changes following experimental liver injury felt the need of a simple, rapid, and accurate method for determining the protein fractions in small amounts of serum and began with Kingsley’s biuret procedure.

The gel-filtration behaviour of proteins related to their molecular weights over a wide range
TL;DR: Correlation between elution volume, V(e), and molecular weight was investigated for gel filtration of proteins of molecular weights ranging from 3500 (glucagon) to 820000 (alpha-crystallin) on Sephadex G-200 columns at pH7.5.

TL;DR: Measurements on several dipeptides showed that proline peptide do not form ultraviolet-absorbing complexes with copper whereas prolyl peptides do form such complexes, which explains the finding that gelatin (which has a high proportion of proline and of hydroxyproline residues) is less reactive with copper than are the other proteins studied here.

Legumin and vicilin, storage proteins of legume seeds
TL;DR: The physical, chemical and immunological characteristics of the legumin and vicilin preparations from Pisum sativum are summarised and the distributions of proteins with sedimentation coefficients and/or immunological determinants similar to those of legumin this article.

Determination of the Tryptophan Content of Proteins by Ion Exchange Chromatography of Alkaline Hydrolysates
Tony E. Hugli,Stanford Moore +1 more
TL;DR: A study of the variables in techniques for alkaline hydrolysis of proteins and for chromatographic analysis of the products has led to a method for the accurate determination of tryptophan which is applicable to foods and has been tested on normal and opaque-2 maize meals and on wheat flours.
