I am currently researching how to create a screen test for gluten in a beer sample. More specifically Hordein, the gluten protein found in barley which is a key ingredient in beer.
According to various group research we suspect there is a repeating sequence in both wheat and barley gluten proteins that will allow Hordein, the Gluten protein of barley, to be broken down in a similar manner to gliadins, the Gluten protein of wheat. This could potentially be conducted using an enzyme to break down the gluten protein, in a method similar to that used by the University of Washington in 2011's iGEM competition.
