## Abstract Glucosinolates and their very highly reactive breakdown products (mainly isothiocyanates = ITC) belong to one of the most important natural toxicants. This paper deals with the interactions of allylโ, butylโ, phenylโ and benzyl ITC with egg white proteins resulting in the formation of I
The interaction of benzyl isothiocyanate (in concentrations of 2.5-250 mg benzyl-ITC g-' protein) with myoglobin leads to the formation of deriv- atives which have been characterised in terms of their solubility, free epsilon amino groups, content of tryptophan and its quenching, as well as their mo
Benzyl-ITC (benzyl isothiocyanate) reacts preferentially with amino groups and sulfhydryl side chains of bovine sarcoplasmic proteins to form thiourea and dithiocarbamate derivatives, generally resulting in a decrease in solubility of the derivatives along a wide pH range. Under these conditions, it
## Abstract Aqueous twoโphase partitioning is one of the excellent bioseparation systems for proteins and other biomolecules in waterโrich solutions containing polymers or salts. To improve the partition properties of model proteins, chicken egg white (CEW) proteins were chemically modified with po
