The globulins of cotton seeds XII. The structure of the 7S-globulin

Summary 1. The 7S globulin of cotton seeds consists of eight polypeptide chains of two types differing by their contents of carbohydrates and of amide groups.2. On the basis of the results of a study of the amino-acid sequences of the peptides obtained by cleaving the 7S globulin with trypsin and chymotrypsin, its complete primary structure has been put forward.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.
