Summary

When κ-casein from buffalo's milk was treated with carboxypeptidase A (EC 3. 4. 2. 1),4 amino acids, valine, threonine, serine and alanine were released from the protein in a manner consistent with the view that they originate in the C-terminal sequence of a single peptide chain. The amounts produced suggest a minimum molecular weight for buffalo κ-casein of approximately 17000, in agreement with the value calculated from the phosphorous content on the basis of the presence of 2 phosphorus atoms/molecule. A comparison is made with the C-terminal sequence reported for bovine κ-casein.
