Abstract
Summary: Conformational studies of 1Dx2, 1Bx7, and 1Dgamma12 high relative molecular mass glutenin subunits, extracted from Alisei 1 flour, are reported. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is employed to study their conformational polymorphism induced by urea and by urea in the presence of 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The CD spectra indicate that SDS promotes ordered structures. The addition of urea to the SDS-acetate solution of 1Dx2, 1Bx7, and 1Dgamma12 subunits eliminates the effect of SDS. Its addition to the acetate solution of proteins induces conformational transitions to form a poly-L-proline II-like structure. All the changes induced by urea follow a multistep transition process that is typical of proteins consisting of different domains
