Abstract
Work has continued on the study of the conformational transitions of gossypulin from the seeds of the cotton plant under various conditions. The denaturation of gossypulin as a function of the pH of the medium and the influence of salts (sodium chloride and sodium phytate) on the denaturation process have been studied with the aid of circular dichroism. The gossypulin from cotton plant seeds undergoes complex conformational changes in the pH interval from 2 to 13. Sodium phytate stabilizes the protein molecule at pH 2 and 3.
