Abstract
The structure and stability of casein micelles are determined in large measure by the amino acid sequences of the constituent alphas1-, beta-, and kappa- caseins. In this paper we review, and attempt to connect with sequence data where possible: (1) molecular weight, structure, and dissociation of casein micelles; (2) physical characteristics of monomeric caseins, especially the distrubition of charged and hydrophobic residues and the possible occurrence of helical regions; and (3) forces involved in association of monomers.Keywords
