Summary
1. Cotton seeds contain five globulin components, two of which are the main representatives; the molecular weights of the latter are 130,000 and more than 300,000.
2. The globulin with a molecular weight of 130,000 (N-terminal amino acid arginine) has a quaternary structure: it consists of two types of polypeptide chains.
