Popis: With the purpose of analysing the molecular size and composition, proteinaceous material was extracted from the insoluble components of a digesta sample obtained from pigs fed a feed consisting of only soybean meal. Gel permeation chromatography indicated that the alkali-extractable fraction of the proteinaceous material from the residue was of relatively high apparent molecular weight. However, the combined results from gel electrophoresis, RPLC-MS, and MALDI-ToF MS showed that the extracted protein material was in fact, to a high extent, composed of aggregated peptides. To our knowledge this has not previously been described. Aggregates extracted by dilute alkali were fully degraded upon subsequent proteolytic treatment. N-terminal sequencing of selected protein bands from SDS-PAGE gels indicated the presence of partly degraded -conglycinin alpha subunits in the residue
