Abstract excerpt
It was recently shown that wines contain typically a huge diversity of structurally similar polypeptides that exhibit a high degree of homology to pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins. This observation suggested the existence of one or a few precursors in mature grapes, common to most or all the wine PR proteins. Limited proteolysis and chemical modification of the precursor(s) during fruit ripening and winemaking...
