title: [Chemical modification of proteins. 5. Modification of the 11-S-globulin from sunflower seed by reaction with dialdehyde starch].
abstract: Dialdehyde starch (DAS) reacts unspecifically with the amino acid residues of the 11 S globulin from sunflower seed. The modification of the protein causes a decrease of the content of each amino acid. Their blocking reaches maximum values at high pH levels (9,5) and high concentration of protein (5%). Especially high reactivity is shown by arginine as well as by the hydrophobic amino acids isoleucine, valine, and proline, and furthermore by histidine, lysine, asparagine (aspartic acid), and glutamine (glutamic acid). By reaction with DAS at pH 8.0 70% of the amino groups are blocked within 6 h; on the contrary, glyoxale blocks only 30% of the amino groups. Owing to the blockage of charged amino acid groups, a shift of the isoelectric point of the protein to a lower pH (4,3-4,4) takes place; this effect can be followed for 2 days. As a result of the reaction with DAS, only small amounts (10-15%) of intermolecular crosslinkage products with sedimentation coefficients of 17 S and greater than 17 S were formed. But by means of SDS-gel electrophoresis, dimers and trimers of the polypeptide chains in the protein were detected.
