Titin is the short name for an extremely massive protein molecule. The full-length scientific name of this protein molecule contains 189,819 characters and is considered (by some) as the longest word in not just English, but any language. ...
Proteins vary in size; among the smallest known is the subunit of an enzyme called 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (~10 kDa in size and composed of ~62 AAs) (http://bionumbers.hms.harvard.edu/default.aspx), while the largest known protein is found in the human body called titin (isoform ...
2). The thin filaments are made of actin, while thick filaments of myosin; longitudinally, the superprotein titin connects Z and M lines (being linked to them respectively with its N- and C-terminus). The other principal myofibrillar proteins are nebulin (a minor component of thin filaments...
Scientists have discovered the largest known protein in biology. Given the fun name of PKZILLA-1, the protein was found in algae cells and helps them make toxins that are responsible for mass killings of fish. Most proteins in nature are a few nanometers (nm) long, and have masses of ab...

patients were prioritized and selected from our dataset by excluding non-CSPs with descriptive terms for the protein name found in the Trembl protein database. Consequently, we observed approximately four-fold more peptides (and CSPs) than previously reported by applying the more stringent ...
Atomic force microscopy is a powerful tool capable of resolving the structure of molecules under near-physiological conditions. Samples can be imaged in their native state: fully hydrated and at biologically relevant temperatures. No additional sample processing, such as fixation, coating, and dehydratio...
How is the protein "TITIN" related to the sarcomere, and how is it synthesized? How do the primary structure of a polypeptide influence secondary and tertiary structures? How can the conformation of a protein be disrupted? Explain how protein-protein interactions are important for the biologica...

One of two proteins in insects (projectin and sallimus) that are functional homologues of vertebrate titin. The Drosophila gene sallimus (sls) encodes a protein of 2 MDa. The 5′ half of sls codes for zormin and kettin; both proteins contain Ig domains and can be expressed as separate ...
