Small-angle X-ray scattering study by synchrotron orbital radiation reveals that high molecular weight subunit of glutenin is a very anisotropic molecule.

Abstract:

:Small-angle X-ray scattering of one high molecular weight (HMW) subunit of wheat glutenin was measured at protein concentration ranges from 1.0 to 10.0 mg/ml. The radius of gyration of whole particles, RO, in aq. 50% (v/v) 1-propanol and 0.1M acetic acid was 16.6 +/- 0.1nm and 22.8nm, respectively, and the corresponding radius of gyration of the cross-section, RC, was 2.82 +/- 0.02 nm and 2.23 +/- 0.01 nm, which indicate that the glutenin HMW subunit exists as very anisotropic particles in both solutions. The RO and RC values of the subunit, and the drastic decrease in scattered intensity at small angles that occurs in the acetic acid solution with relatively low protein concentration are completely explained in terms of rod-like molecules of the glutenin HMW subunit.
