Structure and Functional Properties of Proteins from Different Soybean Varieties as Affected by the 11S/7S Globulin Ratio by Yichen Hou, Lu Huang, Guangliang Xing, Xiaotian Yuan, Xiaoyan Zhang, Dongqing Dai, Xingxing Yuan, Xin Chen, Chenchen Xue

“…This study investigated the protein content, protein composition, and 11S/7S globulin ratios of 411 soybean samples, and then selected six varieties (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6) for the analysis of the protein structures and functional properties. The results revealed that varieties with low 11S/7S ratios (S1, S2, and S3) exhibited relatively high random coil contents (20.11–22.94%) and lower β-sheet contents (34.17–38.37%), suggesting the presence of more loosely structured proteins. …”
