Abstract excerpt
Glycinin is one of the predominant storage proteins of soybean. To improve its functional properties (heat-induced gelation and emulsification) and/or nutritional value, the A1aB1b proglycinin subunit was modified on the basis of genetically variable domains suggested from the comparison of amino acid sequences of glycinin-type globulins from various legumes and nonlegumes and the relationships between the...
