Summary

Fraction 1 protein (18S) can be isolated in large quantities (order 100 g) in a soluble state by heating lucerne juice, adjusted to pH 6·7 to 6·9, from a Pirie extractor to 63 °C for 10 min. Low speed oentrifugation (2500 g) removed coagulated chloroplast fragments and most of the heat-denatured Fraction 2 proteins. Fraction 1 (18S) protein (> 95% pure) was purified from low molecular weight materials (sugars, phenolics etc.) by ammonium sulphate fractionation and gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 gels.
