Abstract

The homogeneity of arachin prepared by different methods was determined by the techniques of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, and ultracentrifugation. Arachin obtained by the method of Tombs [Biochemical Journal (1965) 96, 119] or Dawson [FSTA (1971) 3 10J1300] appeared to be homogeneous by these techniques. Total groundnut proteins, extracted in 1M NaBr solution and subjected to double precipitation with 23% (NH4)2SO4, also gave a homogeneous arachin preparation. These 3 homogeneous arachin preparations differed in their rate of hydrolysis by alpha-chymotrypsin, heat coagulation, and dissociation itno subunits. However, sodium dodecyl sulphate and guanidinum hydrochloride denatured them to the same extent, as could be judged by the difference spectra. The P and carbohydrate content of the 3 preparations did not differ significantly.
