Abstract

The amino acid composition of α-lactalbumin has been determined by chromatography on Dowex 50 resin. Outstanding features of its composition are high content of aspartic acid and tryptophan and low content of arginine, methionine, and proline. The analytical results yield a molecular weight of 15,500, in good agreement with physical measurements. The recovery of serine and threonine from α-lactalbumin hydrolyzates remains constant with increasing time of hydrolysis.
