Whole casein, β-casein, β-lactoglobulin and euglobulin were labelled with 131I. The conditions under which iodination was carried out were chosen so as to avoid any modification of the original characteristics of the proteins. This was checked by starch-gel electrophoresis and determination of sedimentation constants, apparent molecular weights and, for euglobulin, the clustering effect on fat globules.
As was shown by autoradiograms of the starch-gel plates, the radioactivity was incorporated in all zones of the electrophoresis pattern.
