who in 1838 coined the termprotein, a word derived from the Greekprōteios, meaning “holding first place.” Proteins arespecies-specific; that is, the proteins of one species differ from those of another species. They are alsoorgan-specific; for instance, within a single organism,muscleprotein...
The third base of the triplet is the least specific one, and in many cases can be changed without altering the meaning of the codon. This is possible because, when the tRNA is paired to its anticodon on the mRNA, it has a rocking or wobbling movement, which makes the binding on the ...
we chose a human PDZ domain (LNX2PDZ2, Fig.1a), which was studied in the first EFX experiment6. PDZ domains bind the C-terminal residues of partner proteins, resulting in the assembly of large intracellular
At present, some of the most successful methods of protein structure prediction, here meaning prediction in the general sense, have a chance of predicting the folds of small, single-domain proteins within 1.5 Å over the entire structure, i.e., to about the length of a chemical bond. ...
Tryptophan, an amino acid that is nutritionally important and occurs in small amounts in proteins. It is an essential amino acid, meaning that humans and certain other animals cannot synthesize it and must obtain it from their diets. Infants require grea
As has been suggested earlier, the slow refolding of DM-MBP is thought to be due to the presence of an entropic barrier25 meaning that, in the absence of the hydrophobic core, a wide conformational search on a flat energy landscape needs to be performed. If this were the case, we should...
Based on solutions proposed in the articles (Supplementary Table2), we identified three narratives associated with the protein transition. Narratives create a coherent discourse from the world-views and beliefs8,40. They are the primary means of conveying importance and meaning and play an important...
Meaning The recommended dietary allowance for protein is sufficient to maintain lean body mass; protein intake exceeding the recommended dietary allowance does not increase lean body mass in functionally limited older men who are eating less than the recommended dietary allowance. Abstract Importance The...
In that case, probably a lung disease called pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis can be considered the largest word. There are 45 letters in it. But my history teacher once told me that floccinaucinihilipilification (meaning, the estimation of something as worthless) was the longest word...
In subject area:Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology Mucoproteins are composed of simple proteins combined with mucopolysaccharides such as hyaluronic acid and the chron-droitin sulfates. From:The Meaning of Human Nutrition,1973 Also in subject areas: ...
