Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis of Purified Casein Fractions Treated with Milk-Clotting Enzymes

Abstract
Acid casein was fractionated into .alpha.s-, .beta.- and .kappa.-casein and was treated separately with Mucor miehei and Endothia parasitica enzymes and calf chymosin. The enzyme treated casein fractions were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the electrophoretic patterns were compared with those of untreated casein fractions. All 3 enzymes showed proteolytic activity, but E. parasitica enzyme degraded .alpha.s-casein the most.
