STUDIES ON EGG YOLK PROTEINS

IV. ELECTROPHORETIC COMPOSITION OF EGG YOLK PROTEINS

Abstract

1. From the results of the electrophoretic studies of the egg yolk and the fractions, the protein composition of the egg yolk has been determined.
2. It has been shown that the lipid and phosphorus contents of the total yolk protein are in good agreement with the values estimated on the basis of the lipid and phosphorus contents of the protein components.
3. The phosphorus distribution in the yolk proteins has been made clear by the similar calculations.
