Abstract
SDS-PAGE and differential solubility were used to demonstrate similarities between maize zein and sorghum kafirins. Polypeptides with similar apparent molecular weights were found in the zein and sorghum karafin fractions. To identify structural similarities among the karafin polypeptides and the zein polypeptides, Western blot was carried out by using α-, β-, and γ-zein antisera. A nomenclature for sorghum karafins is proposed based on similarities in molecular weight, solubility, and structure to zeins.
