COMPARATIVE 1D- AND 2D-ELECTROPHORETIC PROTEIN PROFILES OF ANCESTRAL AND MODERN BUCKWHEAT SEEDS GROWN IN THE ITALIAN ALPINE REGION Open
Buckwheat is an old crop whose seeds protein composition candidates these under-utilised seeds as much needed ingredients for the production of gluten-free products. Several buckwheat species and local cultivars are known worldwide. In thi…

New molecular features of cowpea bean (<i>Vigna unguiculata</i>, l. Walp) β-vignin Open
Cowpea seed β-vignin, a vicilin-like globulin, proved to exert various health favourable effects, including blood cholesterol reduction in animal models. The need of a simple scalable enrichment procedure for further studies for tailored a…

Cysteine-containing peptides are produced by sequential clipping, but not released, from lupin 11S storage globulin during early germination Open
The digestion of the seed storage proteins is a finely regulated process operated by several proteases whose action is influenced by the exposure of specific regions, which became progressively available upon their action. We focused our s…

The future of lupin as a protein crop in Europe Open
Europe has become heavily dependent on soya bean imports, entailing trade agreements and quality standards that do not satisfy the European citizen's expectations. White, yellow, and narrow-leafed lupins are native European legumes that ca…

Proteolytic Cleavage at Twin Arginine Residues Affects Structural and Functional Transitions of Lupin Seed 11S Storage Globulin Open
The 11S storage globulin of white lupin seeds binds to a metal affinity chromatography matrix. Two unusual stretches of contiguous histidine residues, reminiscent of the multiple histidines forming metal binding motifs, at the C-terminal e…

Hypocholesterolaemic effect of rat-administered oral doses of the isolated 7S globulins from cowpeas and adzuki beans Open
The role of seed proteins, especially soyabean 7S globulins, in controlling dyslipidaemia is widely acknowledged. Amino acid sequence homology among the proteins of this family could reflect similar biological functions in other species. T…
