In its simplest form, if either the albumin or globulin content is determined, the other can be obtained by subtraction from the total serum protein. The absence of 纬 -globulins in fetal serum or in serum from precolostral or colostrum-deprived neonatal animals can be readily demonstrated ...
For many proteins, the most prominent structural motif of the functional protein in its native conformation is known as the alpha helix, a right-handed spiral coil (Paulinget al. 1951). When a protein becomes toxic, an extensive conformational change occurs and it acquires a motif known as th...
In its simplest form, the PrBP/δ trafficking cycle comprises three steps: (i) solubilization of the prenylated protein (cargo) from its donor membrane by complex formation with PrBP/δ, (ii) targeting to the destination membrane by association of cargo-bound PrBP/δ with a peripherally membr...
In allhistidine kinases, the catalytic ATP-binding domain follows in sequence thedimerizationfour-helix bundle structural unit. The three-dimensional structure of this domain has been revealed by X-ray crystallography for CheA〚13〛and by NMR spectroscopy for EnvZ〚16〛. Its topology (figure...
(91%), one ORF stands out as the most plausible protein-coding product based on its coding score; however, a sizable number of transcripts (12,787 or 9% of all transcripts) have two or more relatively high scoring ORFs (CPAT coding score above 0.9), in which the best ORF is unclear ...
In this scenario, a protein hormone is secreted by a cell and released into the bloodstream. This hormone then reaches an anatomically distinct site where it binds to its receptor deployed at the surface of another cell (in another tissue). The present treatment is primarily concerned with ...
According to this view, a protein's function depends on its prior folding into a unique three-dimensional structure. In such cases, the amino acid sequence determines the protein's unique 3-D structure. Evidence is rapidly accumulating that many protein regions and even entire proteins lack ...
With this method, the invested nitrogen can be restored from the environment and accumulated in the form of microbial protein from a waste medium (Shi et al. 2007; Hülsen et al. 2014). SCP is hindered by its production cost, which needs to decrease in order to enable practical ...
In its simplest form, a bow-tie motif consists of a “knot” in the center, connected to two separate entities. In our case, the “knot” is a protein connected to two protein complexes via interaction fans (Figure 2G, schematic). Finally, we observed a block substructure (Figure 2H),...
27. The method of claim 23, wherein the separating is carried out by centrifuging the treated sample. Description: CROSS-REFERENCE This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/169,574, filed Oct. 9, 1998, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety ...
