title: Action of trypsin on glycinin. Mixed-type proteolysis and its kinetics; molecular mass of glycinin-T.
abstract: The formation of a relatively stable high-molecular-mass product on trypsin hydrolysis of glycinin (glycinin-T) is interpreted to be a result of 'zipper' proteolysis. Evidence of parallel one-by-one degradation of glycinin occurring after the formation of glycinin-T is presented. At a relatively low concentration of the substrate, the one-by-one proteolysis proceeds as a first-order reaction. A method of determination of the changes in the molecular mass of a protein during the mixed-type proteolysis and some other parameters of this process is developed on the basis of the analysis of the proteolysis kinetics. The value of the molecular mass of glycinin-T calculated by means of this method makes up 70% of the initial molecular mass and coincides with the result of direct determination by gradient gel electrophoresis.
