SUMMARYA comparison has been made of the globulins, vicilin and legumin, prepared by isoelectric precipitation, of the seeds of three species of the Vicieae, namely Pisum sativum, Viciafaba and Cicer arietinum. Their amino acid composition, band patterns after electrophoresis upon polacrylamide-urea gels, fingerprint patterns of their tryptic digests and N-terminal amino acids were compared. Considerable portions of the amino acid sequences of vicilin and legumin of Pisum sativum are probably the same or very similar and both proteins consist of a number of sub-units. Viciafaba and Cicer arietinum also contain two proteins homologous with the vicilin and legumin of Pisum sativum. The homologous proteins of the three species resemble each other more closely than do the vicilin and legumin of any one species.
Soluble Ga/Ce-doped phosphate glass fibres exhibiting controlled release of ions were developed and characterised for wound healing applications. Fibres did not disturb the proliferation and migration of cells and showed antibacterial properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
