Abstract
Data on the physico-chemical properties of proteins from soybean, groundnut,
sesame seed, sunflower seed, safflower seed, mustard seed, rapeseed and cotton seed are
fairly extensive. An examination of the available data on high molecular weight proteins
suggests that there are similarities in many of their properties. In this report the similarity in
amino acid composition, size and shape, molecular weight, secondary structure, subunit
composition, association-dissociation at high and low pH, stability towards denaturants,
hydrolysis by enzymes and quaternary structure of the high molecular weight proteins is
discussed. Based on these similarities a model has been proposed for the associationdissociation,
denaturation and reassociation behaviour of the high molecular weight
proteins of oilseeds.
