Yellow lupine seeds were found to contain two proteins and a low molecular weight fraction possessing the ability to bind Mo, W and radionuclides from the Chernobyl nuclear power in vivo and the 185W isotope in vitro. These proteins differ in their electrophoretic mobility. The electrophoretically less mobile protein undergoes proteolytic degradation; the proteolytic product retains the ability to accumulate microelements.
