ABSTRACTSelected properties of water‐soluble proteins from different pearl millet genotypes were determined. Proteins from pearl millet genotypes containing high, average, and low total protein were compared using gel permeation chromatography (GPC), polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and selected enzymatic analyses. Genotypes with higher total protein content contained greater proportions of low molecular weight protein. PAGE of GPC fractions yielded at least 20 bands with widely varying mobilities. Lipoxidase and proteolytic enzyme activity was greatest in millet with high protein content. Further research is suggested to determine effects of grain maturity on protein characteristic
