Summary

Coagulation of rennin-treated casein was inhibited by treatment of the casein with dimethylaminonaphthalene sulphonyl chloride. The effect was caused by substitution on lysine side chains of the κ-casein fraction, and inhibition was complete when 2–3 lysine residues/molecule were blocked. This level of substitution did not affect other properties of the κ-casein, such as the release from it of non-protein nitrogen (NPN) by rennin and its ability to stabilize αs-and β-caseins in the presence of Ca++. The evidence suggests that lysine side chains on κ-casein take part in the coagulation of rennin-treated casein.
