Description Low mol. wt. protein fraction from the proteins of sesame seed has been isolated in a homogeneous form and is termed beta-globulin or consesamin. The protein has a sedimentation coeff. of 2.0 plus/minus 0.1, a diffusion coeff. of 8 x 10---7 cm-2/s, and a partial specific vol. of 0.725 ml/g. The intrinsic viscosity of the protein was determined to be 4.1 ml/g. The mol. wt. determined by various methods was 15 000 plus/minus 500. The evaluation of frictional ratios using Stokes radius and other hydrodynamic parameters indicates that the protein is elongated. The secondary structure of the protein indicates it to be rich in alpha helix. The protein is rich in acidic amino acids, especially glutamic acid, and also hydrophobic amino acids.
