Abstract

1. The chlorophyll-protein complex has been prepared from leaves of the following legumes: Phaseolus vulgaris, P. limensis, P. coccineus, Vigna sesquipedalis, Dolichos lablab, Glycine max, Medicago sativa, Trifolium pratense, Melilotus alba, Vicia faba, and Pisum sativum. 2. Electrophoretic mobility-pH curves of the complex from these species show close relationship but differ completely from the curve for Aspidistra. 3. The various sets of data from these legumes could be described by a single smooth curve shifted up or down the pH scale to pass through each isoelectric point. In some cases minor deviations were noticed, but in general the agreement was good. 4. It is suggested that the complex from each species is characterized by essentially the same protein, slightly altered in certain respects from the rest but retaining enough of its original character to show relationship.
