The Chlorophyll-Protein Complex. II. Species Relationships in Certain Legumes as Shown by Electric Mobility Curves

Abstract

The chlorophyll-protein complex was prepd. from the leaves of the following legumes: Phaseolus vulgaris, P. limensis, P. coccineus, Vigna sesquipedalis, Dolichos lablab, Glycine max, Medicago sativa, Trijolium pratense, Melilotus alba, Vicia jaba, and Pisum sativum. Electrophoretic mobility-pH curves of the complex from these species show close relationship. The various sets of data from these legumes, except for minor deviations, could be described by a single smooth curve shifted up or down the pH scale to pass through each isoelectric point.
